The Dominican Republic has launched a new initiative for travelers to get to know the country without leaving home: the Dominican Republic Virtual Country. The interactive platform is where visitors can find inspiration for their next trip to the country.
The Ministry of Tourism explains the platform is all about the experiences that make the Dominican Republic the leading tourist destination in the region. “We know that at this time there are many people wanting to visit our country and although nothing replaces the feeling of experiencing the Dominican Republic in person, we want to offer those travelers the possibility of starting their trip before ever leaving home,” said Magaly Toribio, Marketing Advisor to the Dominican Republic’s Ministry of Tourism (MITUR).
The Virtual Country platform has 360 videos that allow visitors to explore the best beaches in the country and discover adventure, nature, and culture in an immersive way.
As in real life, music will play a central role in the virtual experience by featuring concerts by renowned artists. The first virtual concert will be given by artist and composer Manny Cruz. On Thursday, 16 July at 7 p.m. (Dominican Republic time), the artist who has been twice nominated for a Latin Grammy will give an exclusive concert for visitors to Virtual Country.
There will also be a concert on Friday, 24 July at 7PM with Covi Quintana, one of the most outstanding voices in Dominican pop. A third concert is planned with renowned Latin jazz pianist Michel Camilo, who won a Grammy, an Emmy and three Latin Grammy awards, among others.
