## Article

Cap Cana is not slowing down. According to Fernando Hazoury, one of the project's key figures, **9,000 rooms** are under construction today between hotel and residential projects, across more than **50 active developments**. He shared it in [an interview with Arecoa](https://www.arecoa.com/destinos/2026/08/31/hazoury-en-cap-cana-se-construyen-9000-habitaciones-entre-hoteleras-e-inmobiliarias/), where they also plan to double the destination's current capacity.

The number is significant for the Dominican tourism map. Cap Cana strengthens its bet on luxury and residential tourism, a segment that drives foreign direct investment and local jobs. Every new room brings maintenance, services, dining, and steady operations, meaning revenue that stays in the country.

My take: the Caribbean competes to attract hotel capital, and the Dominican Republic responds with physical construction, not just announcements. While other destinations debate projects, here they're already building. In this industry, that beats any promise.
