El Seibo.- President Luis Abinader inaugurated the Hotel School of the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo (UASD) in El Seibo, along with a modern auditorium and a smart classroom, as part of the government’s efforts to strengthen education and human capital linked to tourism and productive development in the province.

He stressed that job demand goes beyond food and beverage services to include technical, engineering, artistic, and healthcare fields. The president described current and planned investments in the region as unprecedented and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to improving road connectivity, especially in the eastern mountain range, to support comprehensive regional development.
