Summary: Digital tourism arrives from the provinces: an app presented by FUNDESER aims to improve traveler interaction with destinations and local services.

## Article

Tech innovation in tourism is moving forward in the Dominican Republic, and it's coming from the provinces. At a business breakfast organized by the **Foundation for the Development of Santiago Rodríguez Province (FUNDESER)** and the Santiago Rodríguez Chamber of Commerce, an app designed to transform the visitor experience was unveiled.

According to the article, the tool aims to improve how tourists interact with destinations, services, and local offerings. In my view, this is exactly the kind of initiative the sector needs to decentralize tourism: not everything is Punta Cana. Santiago Rodríguez and other areas can gain visibility if the app achieves real adoption.

**The challenge** will be integration with hotels and tour operators, and ensuring the app delivers genuine value without becoming another digital catalog. If executed well, it could become a model for other regions. Let's hope we see results on the ground soon.
