Santiago, Chile.- Tourism Minister David Collado celebrated the growing influx of Chilean tourists to the Dominican Republic, describing Chile as a key strategic market for the Caribbean nation. Speaking in Santiago, Chile, Collado met with over 200 travel agents, tour operators, and media representatives to strengthen partnerships and promote the Dominican destination.

In 2024, nearly 150,000 Chileans visited the Dominican Republic, and projections for the first four months of 2025 already indicate around 50,000 visitors.
