Great news for Dominican sports tourism. Aerodom has confirmed that the Las Américas International Airport (AILA) is fully prepared to receive delegations for the 2026 Central American and Caribbean Games, as reported by Arecoa.

This is no small detail. AILA will be the gateway for hundreds of athletes, coaches, and officials arriving in Santo Domingo. And with them, a golden chance to showcase our logistics and hospitality. The airport operator has worked on preparations to ensure smooth operations.

My take: events like this test our infrastructure, but also project us as a destination capable of hosting high-level international gatherings. I hope Mitur and authorities seize this momentum to promote the country beyond sun and beach. The Games are a showcase, and AILA is the shop window.
