Voice reading · ~1 min
David Collado has broken ground on a project that promises to transform Baní. The Ministry of Tourism will invest RD$136.9 million to rehabilitate Los Almendros Beach and the city's boardwalk, according to Dominican Today.
This is no small endeavor. The message is clear: improve public waterfronts to decentralize tourism offerings. Baní, just an hour from Santo Domingo, holds huge potential as a weekend getaway and a local tourism hotspot. If execution is solid, this could become a magnet for visitors looking for beach access without heading to the east.
The interesting part is that Collado isn't just focusing on Punta CanaPunta CanaThe main tourism hub of the Dominican Republic, on the eastern tip, famous for white-sand beaches, all-inclusive resorts and its own international airport.'s mega resorts. With every investment in boardwalks and public beaches, MITUR shows that Dominican tourism is also built from the community up. Hopefully, this project delivers on time and with quality, Baní deserves it.
