Santo Domingo.- The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) forecasts that the Dominican Republic’s tourism sector will reach an all-time high by the end of 2025, contributing over US$21 billion to the national GDP. This would represent 15.8% of the country’s total economy, driven by a projected annual growth rate of 3.3%.
This outlook, based on the latest Economic Impact Research (EIR) conducted with Oxford Economics, underscores the country’s commitment to sustainable and resilient tourism development. The report also estimates that nearly 893,000 people—17.9% of the national workforce—will be employed in the tourism sector this year.
Additionally, international tourist spending is expected to total US$11.4 billion in 2025, while domestic tourism spending is projected to reach US$4.1 billion, highlighting the strength of both foreign and local tourism in the country’s economic landscape.
However, Collado and his team are not capable to fix a minimum of infrastructure in Bavaro. Just take a look at Cortecito, it is disgusting. No road in Bavaro is in decent condition for save traveling. Not talking about none existent sidewalks. Cero infrastructure. Only stupid press releases and nice propaganda fotos, and a promise to fix all this. We are waiting since September 2024. Nothing is happening, all is getting worse by the day. Shame on you.
Dope but I hope y’all improve the education system cause that’s really is going to bring the country out of poverty not serving tourist.
