Taste Paradise fills Sánchez and confirms its tourism potential
The Taste Paradise festival wrapped up in Sánchez, Samaná, with thousands of residents and visitors on site. Two days of food, culture and music that, according to Dominican Today, make the town's tourism potential obvious. That's no small thing: Sánchez has long lived in the shadow of Samaná city and Las Terrenas, but events like this put it back on the map.
What stands out to me is MITUR's approach: instead of betting only on Punta Cana's sun and beach model, it moves the offer toward destinations with their own identity. That opens a real opportunity for the local small business, the guide, the cook and the artisan. This is tourism that leaves money in the community, not just photos.
If Sánchez repeats these festivals with a proper calendar and promotion, it can become a must-stop inside Samaná. Reading Dominican Today's coverage, my take is clear: this is the way.
