Record-breaking tourism numbers for 2017 have made the Dominican Republic the number one destination in the Caribbean for Canadians, second only to Mexico overall for sun destinations.

In 2017, over 837,000 Canadians visited the Dominican Republic to experience the country’s rich history, vibrant culture, fusion-style cuisine and miles of pristine beaches.

With new hotel openings and increased room inventory, new flight routes to the country from Canadian cities and the extremely accessible cruise terminal, Amber Cover in Puerto Plata, the DR was seamlessly able to accommodate the influx of tourist arrivals in 2017.

It has never been easier for Canadians to visit this welcoming country and Dominican Republic President Danilo Medina predicts overall tourism numbers will continue to grow in 2018.
