Could be some much needed good news for us here on the North Coast, from Dominican Today.
Puerto Plata. - With around announced 32 weekly flights from Canada, the city?s tourism starts to show signs of recovery, while representatives from several sectors pledged to put their house in order, to prevent past errors and to get the authorities and the population?s cooperation to protect that key industry.
Receptive Tourism Operators Association (OPETUR) president Michel Musa, speaking in the POP 2011 SUMMIT Forum, said the start of Dominican Republic?s tourist high season is good news, but also demands a consistent promotion of the Dominican tourism offer, especially the Puerto Plata destination.
He said 80 percent of the arrivals to the North Coast during the high season comes from Canada, and attributed it to the effort focused on that market, especially by spending in promotion and the direct work by the tour operator Nolitours and with the program IT ZONE.
Quoted by news source diariolibre.com, Musa predicted Puerto Plata?s best high season in eight years, with the arrival of around 60,000 additional Canadian tourists on 32 weekly flights, aboard 190 passenger jets.
He added that the operator Sunwing has increased its weekly flights from 2 to 8, as part of the expansion.
