Santo Domingo.- The Tourism Ministry continues its efforts to attract more cruise passengers to the Dominican Republic as their favorite destination and thus exceed the 1.2 million which visited the country last year.

To achieve it, a large Dominican delegation attended the 25th annual Florida and Caribbean Cruise Conference Association (FCCA), held in Puerto Rico and in “CruiseWorld 2018” in Fort Lauderdale.

In a statement Tourism said the FCCA meeting was attended by organization president Michele Paige; Puerto Rico governor Ricardo Rosello; Puerto Rico Tourism Corporation (CTPR) director Carla Campos Vidal; Tourism Cruise director Orfila Salazar, as well as Deputy minister Julio Almonte.
