High-end river resorts: the next Dominican tourism goldmine
Our tourism doesn't live on beaches alone. According to a recent opinion column published in Suelocaribe.com, the public sector still needs to recruit river beaches as an additional attraction resource, and I think there's a goldmine. In Punta Cana, Bávaro or Samaná, sun and sand are the magnet, but Dominican rivers, Salto de la Damajagua, Yaque del Norte, Chavón, can offer a different experience.
The article suggests that, with investment in high-end infrastructure, those river spots could lure travelers seeking exclusivity and nature. Think luxury lodges by waterfalls, river spas, or gourmet restaurants with river views. This model works in Costa Rica or Thailand. Here, with our blessed climate and river diversity, the potential is huge. MITUR should take note, because diversifying the offer makes us stronger against Caribbean competition.
