Voice reading · ~1 min
The Gregorio Luperón International Airport in Puerto PlataPuerto PlataA north-coast city and province, birthplace of Dominican tourism, home to the cable car up Mount Isabel de Torres, Victorian architecture and the Amber Cove cruise port. has just bagged its fourth ASQ Award for passenger service, as reported by Dominican Today. It ranks among the best airports by size worldwide. And this is no fluke.
For a provincial airport outside the Punta CanaPunta CanaThe main tourism hub of the Dominican Republic, on the eastern tip, famous for white-sand beaches, all-inclusive resorts and its own international airport.-Santo Domingo axis to win this four times is a statement. Puerto Plata has been investing in the arrival and departure experience: terminal upgrades, staff training, smoother flows. The payoff? Travelers leave with a good impression and tour operators tick it off their list.
In my view, this award strengthens the case that northern DR tourism is not a sideshow. SamanáSamanáA north-eastern peninsula known for humpback whale watching, unspoiled beaches like Rincón and waterfalls such as El Limón., Puerto Plata and the north coast are carving out their own weight. The airport getting it right is the best business card for hotel investors and airlines. I hope other Dominican airports take notes.
