The National Hotel & Tourism Association (Asonahores) announced that the Dominican Annual Tourism Exchange (DATE) would take place from 26 to 28 March 2019 at the BlueMall Puntacana in Puntacana Village. In making the announcement, Paola Rainieri, president of Asonahores, stated: “DATE has contributed to the sustained increase of Dominican tourism activity, and has been a very important factor to achieve an average annual growth of more than 6% in the last 10 years, superior to regional and global growth. In these years we have received more than 44 million international tourists and this fair is one of the main contributions made by Asonahores to this achievement.”
The event is organized by the Asonahores staff under Andrés Marranzini, executive vice president of Asonahores. The event is expected to feature the participation of 140 stands distributed in an area of more than 3,000 square meters all throughout the shopping mall.
Marranzini highlighted the event seeks to maximize business opportunities between hoteliers and other local tourism service providers, and tour operators, travel agents, airline representatives, and other professionals in the sector. On the program is the DATE Awards to companies for their contributions to the development of the local tourism industry.
