Dear Traveler:
Come to the Dominican Republic, a country
known for the sheer joy and hospitality of its
people. This is truly a destination that offers
you the best options for enjoying your vacation.
Serenity, safety, the most complete selection
of accommodations, entertainment,
fabulous cuisine, adventure, culture and fun,
are all part of our unique profile!
The Dominican Republic features remarkable
sights and sounds, the warmth of
our golden sun and the softness of white sand
beaches, along a coast laced with exuberant
tropical palm trees.
Our country welcomes you to encounter
nature at its very best. Here, you will also
experience the richness of our culture and
history, a colonial past that earned Santo
Domingo, a city designated as World
Cultural Patrimony by UNESCO in 1990,
the title Athens of the New World in the
16th Century.
I welcome you to this exceptional country
and invite you to discover, for yourself,
the destination Columbus so loved the land
of eternal sun.
Sincerely,
Felix Jimenez
Secretary of Tourism
The Dominican Republic |
