According to new data from the Dominican Republic’s Ministry of Tourism, the country is approaching 2.5m visitors in 2021, the highest of any Caribbean destination this year.

Another 2.5m or so visitors are expected to arrive in the second half of 2021, he said, with flights, routes and frequencies also doubled so far. “We have been able to demonstrate that with bold policies and collective effort we have been able, not only to withstand the impact of Covid-19, but also that we have managed to position our country on a better competitive map throughout the Caribbean and Latin America region,” said Dominican Republic President Luis Abinader.
