Jaime García, president of the Asociacion de Tour Operadores Receptivos (OPETUR), one of the leading tour operator organizations, said that Punta Cana is the hot destination for this winter season in the US. He said that Apple Vacations is focusing on Punta Cana and the market is responding. He said that Puerto Plata is also recovering its popularity. He forecast that the opening of the La Romana International Airport will change the way vacations to the East Coast are marketed. He said that with a single flight tour operators could sell vacations to Punta Cana and to hotels in the Dominicus-Bayahibe-La Romana area.
