The New York Times has chosen the Dominican Republic as its Family Destination of the Year. In its 22 January Sunday edition, the influential daily publishes a story by Caren Osten Gerszberg where she says that the country is becoming increasingly better known for its “growing number of family-centered resorts with activities ranging from windsurfing to world-class golf, to snorkeling to teenage-only lounges.” For the New York market, it says that there are numerous nonstop flights available. The article highlights the all-inclusive resorts as made for family vacations, and mentions options at Casa de Campo in La Romana, Club Med in Punta Cana, Victoria Resort and Ocean World in Puerto Plata.
