Senate approves first reading of Health Tourism Council
Voice reading · ~1 min
The Dominican Senate has passed on first reading the bill creating the National Council for Health Tourism Development, as reported by Arecoa. At Turismo News we see this as a smart move: health tourism is one of the fastest-growing segments, and a dedicated governing body can professionalize the sector and attract investment.
The law still needs a second reading in the Senate and approval from the Chamber of Deputies, but the message is clear. The country is betting on diversification beyond sun and beach. In my opinion, this council could link clinics, hotels and airlines to create integrated packages for international patients. We'll be watching the next steps closely.
