Fernando Hazoury Named Entrepreneur of the Year at National Tourism Awards

The National Tourism Award (PNDT) has announced that Fernando Hazoury will receive the Entrepreneur of the Year distinction in its fifth edition. Reported by Infotur Dominicano, the recognition highlights a key player in the country's hotel development, linked to projects that have transformed offerings in destinations like Punta CanaPunta CanaThe main tourism hub of the Dominican Republic, on the eastern tip, famous for white-sand beaches, all-inclusive resorts and its own international airport. and Cap CanaCap CanaAn exclusive resort community south of Punta Cana with a marina, golf courses, luxury resorts and natural attractions such as Hoyo Azul..

I see more than a lifetime achievement award here. Hazoury represents that generation of entrepreneurs who turned the eastern coast into a machine generating foreign currency and jobs. The award, which will be presented in the framework of the fifth edition, celebrates exactly that: the real impact of tourism on the Dominican economy.

• Fiscal impact: hotels contribute and the state collects.
• Employment: we're talking about thousands of sustained jobs.
• Investment: the sector continues to attract capital.

The industry needs benchmarks. Having Hazoury as Entrepreneur of the Year, with his track record, sends a clear message that we reward those who build and create opportunities.

Dominican tourism keeps moving forward, and recognitions like this reinforce investor confidence. In the meantime, we continue to tell who moves this wheel. That's our commitment.
