Expert calls for digital agenda and AI in Dominican tourism

Voice reading · ~1 min

An industry expert put a digital agenda with strategic use of artificial intelligence on the table for Dominican tourism, as Acento reports. The point is not buying tech for the sake of it, but organizing the data the country already generates and turning it into decisions that reach the hotelier in Bávaro, the tour operator in Samaná and the community board in Puerto Plata.

The proposal covers several fronts:

The read is clear: the country already has the visitor volume, what is missing is the digital layer that translates that volume into measurable tax revenue by province. AI, properly applied, can surface what today gets lost in spreadsheets and emails. It is an agenda that, executed with judgment, leaves Dominican tourism better placed against its Caribbean competitors.

Quick questions

What does the expert propose for Dominican tourism?
A digital agenda with strategic AI use to organize data, digitize paperwork and forecast arrivals. The goal is for that tech layer to turn visitor volume into concrete decisions for hotels and destinations.
What role would MITUR play in this digital agenda?
MITUR would be the link between airports, hotels and tour operators. Its job is to organize information flows and ensure tech investment also reaches provinces like Samaná or Puerto Plata.
How does AI benefit hotels in Punta Cana and Bávaro?
AI helps adjust rates, forecast occupancy and personalize the guest experience. For a Bávaro hotel that means better revenue and less reliance on outside vendors.
Does this digital agenda affect Dominican tour operators?
Yes, because it gives them access to real-time demand data and tools to build sharper packages. The operator who reads that information competes better with large international platforms.
What does the Dominican Republic gain versus the Caribbean?
It gains decision speed and visibility of its data. If the agenda is executed, the country can anticipate seasons and measure tourism's tax impact by province, something done only halfway today.
