Dominican tourism, among sectors with lowest staff turnover

Dominican tourism is showing maturity again. ManpowerGroup placed the sector among the activities with the lowest staff turnover in the country, as Arecoa reports. In a market where tech and other services watch young workers switch jobs every few months, hotels and resorts in Punta Cana, Bávaro or Puerto Plata keep far more stable teams.

The reason is simple: internal training, seasonal career paths and tips make tourism jobs worth holding on to. That lowers hiring costs, improves service and gives hoteliers an advantage that never shows up in ADR.

The read is clear for MITUR and for investors: if employment holds, tax revenue from payroll and consumption stays strong across the provinces. The next step is to reinforce that retention with dual training and incentives tied to tenure. Dominican tourism already competes on talent, and in the Caribbean that is worth as much as a new air route.
