## Article

The **Doma Consortium** won the tender to rebuild the **Puerto Plata Cable Car**. It is made up of Austria's **Doppelmayr**, Switzerland's **Bartholet** and the Dominican **Grupo Malespín**, as reported by [Arecoa](https://www.arecoa.com/destinos/2026/08/20/teleferico-de-puerto-plata-sera-reconstruido-por-consorcio-doma-en-18-a-20-meses/).

The project is expected to take **18 to 20 months**. This is news the north coast tourism industry needed. The cable car is one of Puerto Plata's historic attractions, and rebuilding it comes at a time when the city wants to position itself as both a mountain and a beach destination.

My take: choosing a consortium with two top European manufacturers and a local construction firm shows they want to do this right, with proven tech and on-the-ground execution. Now the key is keeping the schedule on track. If the promise holds, Puerto Plata gets back a key piece of its tourism offer.
