In the first three months of this year the country received the visit of 2,076,171 people, a figure that exceeds the arrival of tourists from previous years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When presenting the figures of tourist arrivals, the Minister of Tourism, David Collado, reported that “with that figure we break even our own records, since we exceed 2019 by 11%, 2021 by 190% and 2022 by 21%”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said that in March, 740,324 tourists arrived in the country by air, exceeding the same month of 2019 by 10% and last year by 20%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also reported that in March, the country received 280,247 cruise passengers, which also exceeds those received last year, when 134,070 arrived by sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“If we add the 740,324 tourists who arrived by air, to the 280,247 cruise passengers, we are talking about 1,020,571 visitors in March alone, something never seen in a month,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also stressed that in the history of Dominican tourism, the country had never received 2,882,698 visitors in the first quarter of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We are talking that from January to March of this year we received 2,076,171 tourists by air and 806,527 cruise passengers, which indicates that the Dominican Republic received the arrival of 2,882,698 visitors in the first quarter, something never seen before. This is why we are a reference in world tourism,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He predicted that, unless something extraordinary happens, by the end of the year, the country will have received 7.8 million tourists, which he described as another record figure in the tourism sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said that the largest countries of origin for tourists in March were the United States, with 48.1%; Canada with 23.2% 2, Colombia with 2.9%, France with 2.6% and Germany 2.5%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
