Dominican Republic tourism is on the rise

Property investors in the Dominican Republic will be encouraged by news that the region has been enjoying monthly increases in tourism numbers since September 2009.

Speaking at the Dominican Annual Tourism Exchange, minister of tourism Javier Garcia revealed that the industry has been enjoying success in recent times.

In addition, Mr Garcia used the conference to commit to the long-term future of the island, announcing a USD12 million investment in improving its infrastructure.

The ministry of tourism will be undertaking a total of 58 new projects in the country, including improving the accessibility of the country's airports and improving the quality of its roads.

"Visits to the Dominican Republic held steady throughout the global economic crisis and recent data shows a continued and increasing surge of arrivals since last fall," he confirmed.

"Our strong marketing outreach and continued investment in Dominican Republic tourism infrastructure has built momentum from our key markets and is creating new markets."

Real estate portal Property Abroad recently claimed that the Caribbean destination would see an increase in investors because of the financial insecurities in the EU.
