Dominicans rank seventh in terms of the arrival of foreigners to Colombia for tourism, events, and business reasons.
“After a historic year of growth, in Anato’s Tourism Showcase, the Dominican Republic will continue to convey a message of confidence to the region and the world, in collaboration between the public and private sectors, always providing the best conditions for tourism. We have the goal of establishing strategic alliances and a large number of commercial contacts that allow travel agencies and tour operators to generate a more robust portfolio of products and services, resulting in more options for visitors,” explains David Collado, Minister of Tourism of the Dominican Republic .
The Aanto Tourist Showcase is a scenario in which travel agencies, hotels, airlines, tourism representatives, assistance cards, and national and international destinations create business opportunities through strategic alliances to strengthen their portfolio of services.
“We have high expectations for this 42nd version of our event. This year, we closed the commercialization of the exhibition spaces earlier than expected due to the great interest of the players in the sector to be part of it. In addition, we will have the help of the President of the Republic, Gustavo Petro, who has expressed his interest in highlighting tourism as one of the most important industries of our country’s economy,” said Paula Cortés Calle, Executive President from Anato.
