Tourism doing well
According to Minister of Tourism, Francisco Javier Garcia, the tourist industry has grown constantly during President Danilo Medina's three years in office and now brings in more than US$16 billion a year to the economy that is more than the actual budget for the country.
He said that tourism has experienced extraordinary growth with more than 16 million tourists arriving over the last three years making the country the leader of tourism in the Caribbean.
He said that the growth had been systematic with just over five million visitors in 2013, over 5.6 million in 2014 and nearly four million so far this year. He went on to say tourism was also very important in generating employment, accounting for approximately 300,000 direct jobs and over half a million indirect jobs.
During this administration, more than 9,000 new hotel rooms had been built and more hotels are being built. With this robust growth in the tourism sector, Garcia was confident that the target set by President Median of ten million tourists a year by the end of 2022 was achievable.
