Summary: The Ministry of Tourism and the International Transport Forum join forces to decarbonize tourism. Opportunities for hotels and operators.

## Article

The **Ministry of Tourism** has signed an agreement with the **ITF (International Transport Forum)** to push sustainable tourism mobility in the Dominican Republic. The news, reported by [Arecoa](https://www.arecoa.com/transportes/2026/07/30/mitur-sella-acuerdo-con-la-itf-para-fortalecer-la-movilidad-turistica-sostenible/), confirms the country is aligning with global standards for decarbonization and transport efficiency related to tourism.

For hoteliers and tour operators, this means a chance to rethink how we move visitors from airports to resorts and between destinations. It's not just about image: it's laying the groundwork for investments in electric fleets, charging infrastructure, and intermodal connectivity. And this also affects the traveler experience, as guests increasingly care about their environmental footprint.

My take is positive. In a Caribbean where sustainability is no longer a bonus but a requirement, the Dominican Republic takes a step forward with agreements like this. Now it's up to the industry and authorities to work together so sustainable mobility doesn't remain on paper. Opportunity? Absolutely.
