Summary: Iberostar bets on public-private collaboration to drive sustainable tourism in the Dominican Republic, reports Arecoa. Opinion from Turismo News.

## Article

**Iberostar**'s bet on public-private collaboration to drive sustainable tourism in the Dominican Republic is timely. According to [Arecoa](https://www.arecoa.com/hoteles/2026/07/28/iberostar-ve-clave-alianza-publico-privada-para-impulsar-turismo-sostenible-en-rd/), the hotel chain sees this alliance as key. I see it as a smart move: private sector brings innovation, public sector provides the regulatory framework. The challenge? Making coordination real.

In a fast-growing destination like ours, sustainability can't be an afterthought. Iberostar knows that. Clear message: if we want Punta Cana, Samaná, or Puerto Plata to remain top, we need joint plans on waste management, energy efficiency, and ecosystem protection.

My take is optimistic. When a player like Iberostar talks alliances, the industry listens. Hopefully **MITUR** and local governments seize the opportunity. It's on the table.
