CHTA, Dominican Republic Sign Medical Tourism Partnership
The Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association is partnering with hoteliers and tourism partners in the Dominican Republic.
The Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association (CHTA) is partnering with hoteliers and tourism partners in the Dominican Republic.
As part of a new agreement, a tourism information Centre planned by the National Association of Hotels and Restaurants in the Dominican Republic (ASONAHORES), will share with CHTA and its members research on tourism’s broad economic impact and links to various industries and areas of economic activity in the country.
The partnership also allows ASONAHORES to access reports from CHTA’s data partners, including STR, MasterCard, KPMG, ADARA, Travelzoo, the Caribbean Tourism Organization, the American Resort Development Association and the World Travel and Tourism Council.
CHTA will arrange in-country workshops and presentations for ASONAHORES’ members to review data and reports and to provide them with greater insight and tools useful for destination, organization and property planning. The two organizations agree information sharing will strengthen ASONAHORES’ advocacy efforts with both the Dominican government and the business community.
Recognizing the potential for the region to further develop health and medical tourism, CHTA and ASONAHORES agree to develop a strategy for the development of medical tourism in the region.
