Tourism is now pricing the cost of not being sustainable
The story published by Hosteltur is short but hits the nerve: tourism is starting to put numbers on the cost of not being sustainable. It is no longer a moral argument, it is a bill. And when an industry puts figures on the table, investors listen.
In the Dominican Republic this reads directly. Punta Cana, Bávaro, Samaná and Puerto Plata compete for a traveller who increasingly asks about carbon footprint, waste management and water use. Resorts that already measure and cut consumption hold an advantage that cannot be copied overnight.
The shift is clear: sustainability stops being an image expense and becomes a financial asset. For MITUR, for hoteliers and for investors, the opportunity lies with whoever moves first.
