“Couples and families are the most dominant groups to the Dominican Republic in 2023, and the ones that are the most resilient, with couples being 22 pc above 2019 and families up by 31 pc compared to 2019,” says Juan Gomez, Head of Market Intelligence at ForwardKeys.

The statement adds that looking ahead at the air ticketing data for January – March 2024 to the Dominican Republic, the future looks rosy with international inbound up by 56 pc versus 2019 levels. This is a huge achievement considering some parts of the world, such as the Asia-Pacific, will still be in the negative.

 “We have to highlight the marketing strategy that you are carrying out to reach premium markets. These and your other strategies are having a direct impact on the increase in arrivals this year versus previous years. This year, the Dominican Republic expects to close the year with the arrival of 10 million visitors for the first time, which added to this recognition demonstrates the country’s great growth in tourism,” Gomez adds.
