Tourism Minister launches construction of Caleta Pier in La Romana

Caleta, La Romana.- Tourism Minister David Collado has initiated the construction of a new tourist pier in the Caleta municipal district, La Romana, with an investment of RD$30.7 million. The project is part of a broader effort by the Ministry of Tourism (MITUR) to enhance tourism development and diversify local attractions, including the Caleta boardwalk.

The pier, designed to boost both tourism and fishing, will feature a 30.15-meter walkway extending over the sea, with a three-meter width. The southern end will include a 27-meter walkway on both sides and five berths of 5.4 meters each. The structure will be built with synthetic wood, equipped with lighting, safety railings, and a breakwater to minimize erosion.

Collado emphasized the project’s economic impact, stating that it fulfills a long-standing demand and aims to reconnect the community with the sea. Managed by CEIZTUR, this initiative brings MITUR’s total investment in La Romana to RD$156.9 million under the current administration.
