Madrid, Spain.-The Dominican Republic achieved its greatest successes this year in the history of its participation in the FITUR tourism fair, where it had one of the most visited stands and agreements were reached for more than 3 thousand 445 million dollars for development tourism in the country, of which 1,645 million will be invested this year.
From Wednesday the 18th that the fair began until its conclusion, the Dominican stand attracted people’s attention due to the three-dimensional immersive experience in the great and diverse tourist attractions of the Dominican Republic that it guaranteed to those who visited it.
In this space, the ingenuity and talent of Iván Tovar was impregnated with his “Living Surrealism”.
Tovar, a native of San Francisco de Macorís, is currently the most valued Dominican artist, after the sale of his work “La Menace/ La Amenaza”, at Sotheby’s auction house, for two hundred and fifty thousand dollars (US$250,000) in May of 2020.
His work is characterized by volumetric and spatial forms on a dark background, framed within Surrealism, a style that he assumed while living in Paris, exhibiting with the great representatives of Surrealism internationally.
Tourism Minister David
Collado, expressed his satisfaction with the achievements at FITUR, after assuring that it is “without a doubt the most successful participation of the Dominican Republic in this important tourism fair in Spain and the world.”
“The achievements in FITUR are tangible facts: greater connectivity and agreements that represent investments for millions of millions of dollars,” said Collado.
He said that thanks to the investments, more than 3,000 new rooms will be built, which will generate 10,000 jobs directly and indirectly.
He also highlighted the agreements signed with airlines and the main tour operators in Europe.
