The Tourism and Production Cluster of Barahona announced the hosting of the “Discover Barahona, Working Towards Sustainable Development” for 24-26 March 2017 at the Universidad Tecnológico de Barahona (UCATEBA).
Virgilio Pérez Bernal, provincial president of the cluster, said the event seeks to expand the horizons for the small and medium-sized producers from the 11 municipalities of Barahona. “Many hotels source their produce in Santo Domingo, while we have the capacity to supply the local, national and international markets,” he said.
The event seeks to create linkages between local business with producers and suppliers of goods and services from other places around the country. Foreign investors interested in touristic and production in the province are being invited to participate.
Training workshops, talks, conferences, arts and crafts exhibits, cultural and folklore shows will be held.
Elena Nunziatini, executive director of the cluster, said that Barahona is more than tourism. She said the fair is an invitation to get to know the province, its people, its production capacity, gastronomy, its farm produce and attractions.
