Estrella puts transport at the heart of Dominican tourism
Public Works and Communications Minister Eduardo Estrella made the case that transport is the engine of Dominican tourism. He did it while highlighting the government's ongoing investments in ports, airports and urban mobility, as Arecoa reports.
The industry's read is straightforward: without roads that reach Punta Cana, Bávaro or Samaná properly, without airports that move passengers efficiently and without ports ready for cruise traffic, tourism can't keep pace. Infrastructure isn't a talking point, it's what turns arrival figures into real income for the provinces.
That's where the opportunity sits. Every peso invested in mobility becomes visitors who arrive, move around and spend beyond the traditional hubs. It's worth watching how those works are executed, because tourism's role as one of the country's strongest fiscal and economic engines depends on it.
