The Dominican Annual Tourism Exchange (DATE), the National Hotel & Tourism Association (Asonahores) leading event to book tourism and complementary activities, is set for 11-13 May at the Barcel\u00f3 B\u00e1varo Convention Center in Punta Cana. More than 160 suppliers and buyers from 20 countries have confirmed they will be attending in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a result of our sector\u2019s hard work, strong commitment, and the attractive diversity of our Dominican product, we have seen consistent growth in occupation in our destination in the last year,\u201d said Rafael Blanco Tejera President of Asonahores. \u201cThis success demonstrates the effectiveness of our response to the global pandemic and enables us to proudly hold this key event in person, so we can continue to reinforce our strong foundation with the tourism sector and its stakeholders,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In its 22nd edition, DATE 2022 is the main platform for business meetings between international travel agents and tour operators and the main suppliers of the Dominican Republic\u2019s tourism industry. It is open to industry participants and the first one of its kind in the country to be held in person in the past two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although business exchanges are the focus of the event, there will be special attention placed on promoting the destination\u2019s cultural attractions through on-site art exhibits, musical entertainment, and artistic performances. \u201cOur culture and gastronomy enriches our overall tourism offering and captivates our visitors who return to stay with us year after year,\u201d stated Asonahores\u2019 Executive Vice President, Andr\u00e9s Marranzini. \u201cDATE provides an ideal opportunity to showcase and celebrate that, part of our comprehensive promotion strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event this year will emphasize the use of digital technology. While it is not open to the general public, key international and local media will be in attendance and will participate in an agenda that will showcase the Dominican Republic as the top Caribbean destination. A system of pre-booked meetings and automated agendas will be in place to facilitate interaction and time management among participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DATE 2022 is sponsored by the Ministry of Tourism, Barcel\u00f3 Hotels & Resorts, Banco Popular Dominicano, Therrestra, Banco de Reservas, AMR Collection, Lifestyle Holidays Hotels & Resorts, Grupo Puntacana, Education First and Codelpa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
