La Altagracia. The Minister of Tourism, David Collado, affirmed that the numbers in tourists’ arrival continue to increase, after ensuring that health protocols are his priority to guarantee the health and well-being of visitors and servers.

“The rigorous application of health protocols is our priority, we cannot go back,” said Minister Collado, leading the act of reopening the Paradisus Palma Real hotel in Bávaro.

He expressed that he will continue working shoulder to shoulder with the private sector until the total recovery of tourism is reached, which generates some 500 thousand direct jobs.

 “We are going to come back stronger,” said the official, while noting that he sees the reopening of hotels as a human issue because of what it represents for the economy.
