The pandemic has left large gaps in many holiday destinations, especially those that can only be reached by plane. But some destinations have recovered extremely well. According to an analysis by travel trend investigator Forward Keys, for the second year in a row, the Dominican Republic has taken first place in terms of tourism recovery after the pandemic, ahead of countries such as Dubai and Costa Rica. The upward trend, which has been going on for 10 years, only experienced a brief slump in 2021, only to rise again in 2022 with record numbers. This is an impressive development that should also cause joy among investors. Find out more here
Based on the comparative figures between 2023 and 2019, the Dominican Republic leads countries such as Spain, Saudi Arabia and Mexico in the sector’s recovery, according to the “2023 Global Travel Trends”1. One of the reasons for this steadfastness is that the Dominican Republic has generally been developing positively economically for years. Just like the tourism index, GDP is also climbing new records every year. The recognition of the Forward Keys platform therefore joins the list of awards that the Dominican Republic has received for a successful strategy to revive the economy and tourism.
