## Article

Minister **David Collado** is on a roll. This Tuesday he oversaw the final stretch of the intervention at **El Faro beach** in San Pedro Macorís, a **RD$67 million** project that will be handed over this Friday with President **Luis Abinader** in attendance, according to [Infotur Dominicano](https://infoturdominicano.com/rd/ministro-david-collado-supervisa-intervencion-playa-el-faro-de-san-pedro-macoris-y-anuncia-su-entrega-para-el-viernes/).

Beyond the ribbon-cutting ceremony, this confirms the government is pushing to improve destinations outside the traditional circuit. San Pedro Macorís has potential for coastal tourism if maintenance is sustained. Let’s hope it’s not just a photo op and then abandonment. The investment is real and needs follow-up.

For industry professionals, this is a clear signal: **MITUR** is diversifying the Dominican offer. It’s not all Punta Cana. Beaches like El Faro can become local hubs if connected with the area’s hotel supply. Good for Collado, good for the decentralization vision.
