There are still four months to go until the Christmas season, which is considered high in the tourism sector so that already the reservations for December in Dominican hotels are at 35%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, the current hotel occupancy has shown that each month exceeds the past, in addition to the fact that in July the country reached more than 500,000 passengers, with rates of more than 65%, the only drawback being that there are markets such as Canada and Europe that They have not fully reopened, a situation that is external.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This information was given by the president of the Association of Hotels and Tourism of the Dominican Republic (Asonahores), Rafael Blanco Tejera, who during a visit to the Listin Diario cited some results of the study “Dominican Tourism: a decade of contributions 2009-2019”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The hotelier representative said that now what is expected is that tourists from Canada and Russia will begin to arrive, which are very important for the Dominican market, although fortunately, tourists are arriving from the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this regard, the head of Asonahores assures that for every job generated by tourism, an additional five are generated in the Dominican economy, which represents a great chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He adds that for every three dollars that enter the Dominican Republic through foreign direct investment, one was a product of the tourism sector. In 2019, prior to the pandemic, tourism generated more than US $ 900 million in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), according to Blanco Tejera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For him, the fact that investor interest has not ceased despite the pandemic is very valuable, since in the last quarter of 2020 and in the first quarter of 2021 the flows of foreign investment continued.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
