## Article

An industry expert put a digital agenda with strategic use of artificial intelligence on the table for Dominican tourism, as [Acento](https://acento.com.do/turismo/experto-propone-una-agenda-digital-y-uso-estrategico-de-ia-para-transformar-el-turismo-dominicano-9760023.html) 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:

- Digitizing paperwork and information flows between **MITUR**, airports and hotels.
- Using AI to forecast arrivals, adjust rates and personalize the visitor experience.
- Training local talent so operations do not depend on outside vendors.

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.
