Monika Infante, president of the Santo Domingo Tourism Cluster, says that small business is a major focus of her term 2018-2020. Infante is general director of the Aerodom that operates Santo Domingo’s Las Americas International Airport and La Isabela International Airport and several airports around the country.
Infante said that the Colonial City is Santo Domingo’s leading attraction and their focus is to back small business in the area to complement the historic heritage of the area as a lure for culture-minded tourists. She said the recent renovation of the historic center is paying off in an increase in visitation. She says the enhanced public safety and services and the opening of new businesses have been well received and visitation is up. To strengthen the positioning of the Colonial City, she said efforts are continuously underway to improve the touristic experience, improving the quality of the businesses in the area.
