Santo Domingo, May 3.- The Dominican Association of Tourist Press (Adompretur) reported this Saturday that Traveller’s Choice, the annual award for TripAdvisor travel platform, selected the Dominican Republic as the best destination in the Americas and the 13th best in the world.

Adompretur considers that the prestigious award given to Dominican tourism should not only constitute a source of pride and celebration for the entire country, but also a source of inspiration and optimism to overcome the difficult circumstances facing the sector today as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

Selection is made annually based on comments from millions of TripAdvisor members. The Travelers’ Choice Awards not only highlight the most common preferences, but also the exceptional attributes that make travelers repeat a visit to a destination.

The information on the Dominican Republic published on the TripAdvisor portal includes various images of the country’s tourist attractions and highlights that the first destination in the Caribbean is in the same waters that bathe Cuba and Puerto Rico, occupying two-thirds of the eastern part of the island that shares with Haiti.
