The Minister of Tourism, David Collado, indicated that the figures for October for the tourism sector are positioned at a higher percentage than that which existed during the same month of 2019 when there was still no pandemic.
“The month of October is 15% above 2019 when there was no pandemic and we come from the best month of September in the history of tourism in the Dominican Republic,” he added.
He recalled that September was the best month in the entire history of the Dominican Republic, with the arrival of tourists higher than in 2018, 2019, and 2020 with a total of 365,544 non-residents.
For Collado, the statistics show that the country’s tourism industry continues to recover sharply, according to Despertar Nacional.
While last September was cataloged as “the best September in the entire history of the Dominican Republic,” receiving 365,544 tourists, an amount higher than in 2018, 2019, and 2020.
The numbers represent a 15% recovery of the influx received before the covid 19 pandemic, specifically in September 2019, and in turn, 25% compared to the September 2020 figures, which represented the generation of about $ US412 million per year for the country

Not surprising really.

We have been hearing about pent up travel demand for a while now.
People are even returning to cruising !!

DR is the biggest attraction in the Caribbean... Russia now, an 11hr flight

News reports from around the world confirm the pent up demand is very high for travel.

Finding enough pilots seems to be a big issue since many retired during the height of the pandemic and it takes time to train new ones.

The large numbers flying to the DR show how little impact the current vaccination card mandate has on tourism. Very little.

Hi,
I would like to see the numbers on this one. Pre-pandemic over 7.5 million tourists 2019? I never have faith in these claims.
