Luis Marino Lopez, coordinator of the Santo Domingo Tourism Cluster, used the opportunity to urge attendees to play an active part in the re-launching of the city. He stressed that the completion of the Malecon project and the underground installation of electricity cabling in the Colonial City are urgent projects that need to be implemented by government. Lopez explained that the Cluster is working to make the Greater Santo Domingo (including the East, West, North and South municipalities) into a competitive and sustainable tourism destination. “For this we need moral, participative and financial support.” He added that Santo Domingo has it all, we just need to offer it, package it better and serve it better in order to translate words into to action.
