Verón-Punta Cana land-use plan includes sustainable transport
The Territorial Planning Plan (POT) of Verón-Punta Cana proposes a structural shift in urban planning, with a focus on sustainable transport, according to Arecoa. The program includes electric mobility systems, bike lanes, and pedestrian zones to ease traffic congestion and reduce the carbon footprint of the destination.
For a hotspot that draws millions of tourists each year, this is a necessary and welcome step. The chaotic growth of Verón has been a long-standing headache for locals and visitors alike. This plan finally addresses that. In my view, it positions the Dominican Republic as a leader in responsible tourism in the Caribbean. Implementation will be key: if executed with long-term vision, Verón-Punta Cana could become a model for sustainable destinations.
As Arecoa details, this is not just a paper plan but a concrete roadmap. It is a win for the environment, for tourism, and for the local economy.
