Punta Cana gains popularity among Argentine travelers

Punta Cana.- Punta Cana has become a top destination for Argentine tourists, solidifying its position as a favorite Caribbean getaway. By July this year, around 155,000 Argentines had visited the Dominican Republic, a 17% increase from the previous year. For the upcoming summer season, a further 10% increase in Argentine arrivals is anticipated, driven by more frequent air connections.

The rise in Argentine tourism is supported by enhanced flight options, including direct routes from Aerolíneas Argentinas, Copa Airlines, Sky, and Arajet. Since adding direct flights to Punta Cana in October, Arajet has seen strong demand and will introduce an additional Saturday flight from December 14 to February 8, offering 3,300 more seats during the peak summer season. Aerolíneas Argentinas is also expanding, with six weekly flights from Buenos Aires starting in January and new routes from Córdoba, Rosario, and Tucumán.

Travel agencies report that Punta Cana is one of the most sought-after destinations for Argentines, particularly those seeking beach vacations. The region’s recovery post-pandemic has been rapid, with demand for all-inclusive packages remaining strong even as Brazil offers more affordable options. Punta Cana is expected to continue growing in popularity, with many agencies listing it as one of their top destinations for the coming year.
