The country’s Tourism Ministry reveals positive data about the recovery of international tourism to the island nation.
According to the ministry, in March 2021, Dominican Republic saw 263 857 foreign visitors, which is 56% more than in February 2021, and 3.4% more than in March 2020.
“The March 2021 rebound in international tourism to Dominican Republic is a clear sign that our reactivation strategy is being successful,” said Tourism Minister David Collado. “This government’s objective has been to regain the international traveler’s confidence, implementing protocols and effective initiatives with impact on the entire value chain, and [March’s] figures prove that we are on the right track.”
In the last week of March, the occupancy rate in the Dominican Republic reached 70.6%. This is the highest it has been over the past twelve months.
What’s more important, the occupancy rate as of 1 April 2021 has surpassed pre-crisis levels.
