Travel Weekly readers voted the Dominican Republic its number one destination in the Caribbean. The country lead in the vote by travel professionals for the 2018 Travel Weekly Readers’ Choice Awards.

“It is an honor for our country to be acknowledged by leading professionals in the travel industry,” said Magaly Toribio, marketing advisor for the Ministry of Tourism. “We are proud to promote the distinct beauty and diversity of our country and look forward to welcoming many new and returning visitors in 2019 and years to come.”

The widely recognized and coveted awards are presented annually to the industry suppliers who led the way in product and service during the past year, as explained by Travel Weekly. The open ballot phase of the voting was conducted during the summer. Travel Weekly readers were invited to write in the names of any company they believe best exemplifies a category. The leading vote recipients were identified as finalists and voting on finalists took place October through November 2018 and announced in December.

This recognition comes as the Dominican Republic prepares to welcome new direct daily flight routes in 2019 from destinations throughout the United States, including New York, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Houston and Fort Lauderdale, among other locations.
