The Amber Highway will boost convention tourism in the Cibao
Senator Daniel Rivera of Santiago has said it clearly: the construction of the Amber Highway is one of the most important infrastructure projects for the Cibao North, South and Northeast. And I could not agree more. This is not just a road. It is the piece that connects the interior with the coast, and that changes everything in tourism.
What does this mean for convention tourism? Destinations like Santiago, La Vega or Moca stop being mere transit points. With a modern road linking to Samaná and Puerto Plata, hotels in the north can compete for corporate events and meetings without depending on Punta Cana or Santo Domingo airports. That is the real opportunity.
As Dominican Today reports, Rivera argues the impact goes beyond transport. I see a before and after for interior tourism here. Hoteliers in the Cibao should start preparing their halls and spaces for conferences, because once the Amber Highway is operational, demand for meetings tourism will come. And it will come fast.
