## Article

Business leaders and representatives from the commercial sectors of **Colombia, Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic** toured Pedernales province to assess first-hand the investment potential of the country's new southern tourism hub, according to [Arecoa](https://www.arecoa.com/destinos/2026/09/14/sector-comercial-de-colombia-y-costa-rica-buscan-oportunidades-de-inversion-en-pedernales/). The visit puts the spotlight on a territory that had been off the Dominican hotel map for decades and is now entering the radar of regional investors.

The interest is no accident. Pedernales is part of the country's most ambitious tourism development project, with **Cabotaje** as its anchor and a roadmap combining hotels, an airport and complementary supply. That a foreign delegation has travelled there signals the south is starting to be read as a real market rather than a promise.

The read is clear: the country adds a new growth axis and diversifies its offer beyond Punta Cana. For hoteliers, tour operators and service providers, the time to position is now, before land heats up and the best plots are gone.
