Puerto Plata cable car starts renovation on Saturday
The Puerto Plata cable car is heading into the workshop. Renovation work starts on Saturday, October 3, according to Arecoa, with an investment larger than the destination has handled in recent years. The mountain is a priority again.
The read for the industry is straightforward. Puerto Plata welcomes more cruise passengers every season who come ashore with limited time, and a refurbished cable car is one of the few excursions that fits a four-hour port call. Add the pull on the domestic market, which fills weekends and drives restaurants, taxis and local artisans. The project also lands while the destination is riding a wave of hotel investment, which strengthens the pitch to tour operators.
What remains open is the reopening timetable and how it lines up with high season. What is already clear is that every peso invested up the hill turns into tourism spending spread across the province.
