De los Santos, who is a former president of Asonahores, says the offer is to use hotels in different areas of the country. He said the proposal is for these to be used for the isolation of persons as they wait to be tested and\/or for the results of the tests, and also for those with mild conditions that need to be in isolation. He said Asonahores has asked the Ministry of Public Health to inspect these properties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>De los Santos said that 95% of hotels in the Dominican Republic are closed. He observed those still in operation are mostly city hotels that have fixed clients. Asonahores reported that the hotels that remain open are because they have guests. These hotels will be in operation until their customers leave: <br>\nSanto Domingo: Aparta Hotel Drake, W&amp;P (BQ Santo Domingo), El Embajador Hotel, Quality Hotel Real, Weston Suites Hotel &amp; Casino, Homewood Suites by Hilton, Catalonia Santo Domingo, Casas del XVI<br>\nLa Vega: Hotel Pegasus (La Vega city) <br>\nSantiago: Hotel La Rotonda<br>\nPuerto Plata: Tropicana, Hotel Mountain View, Hotel Victoriano, Royal Swiss and Natura Caba\u00f1a.<br>\nPunta Cana: Westin Punta Cana, Barcel\u00f3 B\u00e1varo Palace<br>\nSaman\u00e1: Cos\u00f3n Bay &amp; Residences<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Resorts have shut down after air and seaports were closed to impede the spreading of the virus. \u201cThe hotels don\u2019t have customers,\u201d said De los Santos when interviewed on La Cuestion radio talk show on 1 April 2020. \u201cWe all have expectations that the hotels will reopen when the country and the world overcome this situation,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more in Spanish:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/listindiario.com\/economia\/2020\/04\/01\/611378\/trece-hoteles-permanecen-abiertos-en-lugares-turisticos-de-republica-dominicana\">Listin Diario<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arecoa.com\/hoteles\/2020\/03\/30\/asonahores-solo-7-hoteles-siguen-abiertos-dominicana\/\">Arecoa<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elcaribe.com.do\/2020\/04\/01\/13-hoteles-brindan-servicio-a-turistas-que-permanecen-en-el-pais-por-restricciones-de-vuelos\/\">El Caribe<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.diariolibre.com\/economia\/un-total-de-13-hoteles-siguen-operando-en-la-republica-dominicana-IK18037258?utm_source=recomendadas&amp;utm_medium=bloque&amp;utm_campaign=blueconic\">Diario Libre<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2 April 2020<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joel de los Santos says members of the National Hotel &amp; Tourism Association (Asonahores) are in touch with public health authorities to rent around 1,500 rooms located in closed hotels.
