## Article

**Tourism Minister David Collado** delivered equipment to technical schools in the **Colonial City** of Santo Domingo, as reported by [MITUR](https://noticias.mitur.gob.do/ministro-noticias/ministro-de-turismo-david-collado-entrega-equipamiento-a-escuelas-tecnicas-de-ciudad-colonial/). The donation goes to centers that train future workers in the historic district, an area that welcomes more visitors each year and needs prepared staff.

The delivery includes tools and materials for tourism training workshops, a move that connects directly with the strategy of diversifying the offer beyond Punta Cana and Bavaro. The Colonial City is Santo Domingo's second most visited destination and its growth demands skilled labor in hospitality, gastronomy and visitor services.

The number that matters: **every technical position filled in the capital reduces reliance on foreign staff** and strengthens the local value chain. Training at home is the most direct path for tourism spending to stay in the country. The [official MITUR note](https://noticias.mitur.gob.do/ministro-noticias/ministro-de-turismo-david-collado-entrega-equipamiento-a-escuelas-tecnicas-de-ciudad-colonial/) confirms the commitment to education as a driver for the sector.
