“Today, we are already a tourist city that has been presented as such in international markets; today we are working to define our City Brand, 5 new hotels with 591 rooms are being built, the Cibao International Airport is expanding, the cable car cabins are already circulating and in a short time we will be impressed to see how the Monorail of Santiago goes up the Carrera Avenue and circulates through our streets, we are already a Cosmopolitan city,” assured Paulino.
He emphasized that security is one of the most essential elements of any tourist destination.
Colonel Nelson Morillo, regional director of Politur, expressed his gratitude for delivering the new vehicles, which will strengthen the work of the Central Cibao Regional Directorate of Politur.
