The Ministry of Tourism ensures that the country's tourist centers are kept open under strict protocols to guarantee the safety of visitors.
While countries advance in the vaccination processes and world tourism begins to reactivate after a historic fall in 2020, the Dominican Republic maintains the lead and reaffirms its leadership position in Latin America, consolidating itself as a world reference recognized by specialized international agencies.
The set of measures contained in the plan has ensured that the country's tourist poles remain safe places for visitors, with a positivity rate close to zero in the random tests applied at the main airports to incoming passengers.
Among these measures that remain in place are the vaccination of 100% of the tourism service personnel, compliance with health protocols, the elimination of the requirement to submit PCR tests to enter the country, the application of random tests and the implementation of the Health Assistance Plan that covers COVID-19 for all tourists who go to hotels.
The Ministry of Tourism reported last Tuesday, June 1st, the maintenance of the actions contained in the plan and the extension of the time of tourist assistance coverage until July 30th, 2021.
The sector represents one of the main engines of the Dominican economy. The country has the presence of more than 70 hotel chains, has agreements with more than 100 airlines and the main world tour operators. Dominican airports receive tourists from more than 500 cities in the world.
