Dear Traveler:
We are pleased to invite you to enjoy a
great vacation in a country where nature
itself is made to give you the most pleasant
experience, with the traditional hospitality of
the Dominican people, in a peaceful, secure
and relaxed environment. You will almost
regret that you will have to return home!
Being in The Dominican Republic is like a
dream come true: What’s best than spending
time on its gorgeous white sand beaches,
majestic hill, lush vegetation and swaying
coconut and palm trees? With optimum
weather conditions throughout the year, in
our country you will also get in touch with the
cultural and historical greatness of colonial
past that during the XVI century named the
city of Santo Domingo as “the Athens of the
New World”.
In the following pages you will find a
summary of useful information about our
country that will provide you with a glimpse
of the Dominican way of life.
Sincerely,
Felix Jimenez
Minister of Tourism
