A combination of visa flexibility and very competitive air fares (Arajet, Wingo, Avianca and others) has turned the Colombia – Dominican travel option into a winner. The airlines also offer one-way fares that enable travelers to fly into one Colombian city and depart by another.
The boom in Colombia-Dominican travel is attributed to the interest in both Dominicans traveling to Colombia for shopping, restaurant and cultural travel, and Colombians coming to enjoy the resorts of the Dominican Republic and cultural and shopping attractions.
On 24 October 2024, Minister of Tourism David Collado was in Colombia to promote the Dominican destination.
Collado highlighted that the Dominican Republic welcomed 257,716 Colombian tourists in 2022. The total increased to 306,000 in 2023. “To date, and thanks to you, 264,000 Colombians have arrived in our country, and we are going to finish above 330,000 visitors from this country, the highest figure in all history,” Collado said.
More than 300 travel agents and tour operators participated in the Ministry of Tourism roadshow in Bogotá on 22 October. Before presenting the various destinations of the Dominican Republic to the hundreds of Colombian tour operators and travel agents who gathered for the roadshow, Rebeca Fernández del Pino, director of the Dominican Republic’s destination loyalty program, DO Travel Rewards, presented the global initiative for travel agents who sell the RD destination.
