Hoteles Catalonia chose the Dominican Republic’s East Coast for its first investment in tourism outside of Spain. The Spanish hotel chain that operates 25 hotels in Barcelona, Madrid, Sevilla, Mallorca, Tenerife and Spain and has been in business for over 20 years, is building a 2,000 hotel room complex in the area of Cabeza de Toro, adjacent to Bavaro-Punta Cana hotels. The first phase of the project is a 750-room hotel that is slated to open in June 1998.
