At last year’s fair, six hotel chains announced that they will invest in Pedernales. They also signed agreements with Poland Rainbow Tours, Iberia and Euro Wings
With its emerald green waters bathing beaches of extraordinary beauty, its magical mountains and the multiple options it offers to those who love ecological and adventure tourism, Miches will become the great protagonist of the Dominican offer at the International Tourism Fair (FITUR) 2023, which will take place in Madrid Spainfrom the 18th to the 22nd of this month.
As happened with Pedernales at Fitur 2022, when the Government presented that destination to foreign investors, the benefits of Miches will be exhibited in a special way during the fair, as announced last December by the Minister of Tourism, David Collado.
Collado also explained that the Dominican Republic returns as a co-sponsor of Fitur, which will cause the spotlight to turn towards the Dominican stand, as is tradition.
This year the Dominican Republic also repeats its main sponsors, Banco Popular and Banco de Reservas, joined this time by Banco BHD, Punta Cana, Cap Cana and ProMiches.
One novelty is that the number of exhibitors has been increased, as Collado pointed out, reaching the maximum number that is allowed: 45 co-exhibitors.
This year the fair has Guatemala as a partner country, which will take as its motto “Guatemala. Amazing and unstoppable.”
While the Dominican Republic continues with its slogan “It has it all.” For this reason, as usual at the stand, visitors will find information about the country, representatives of financial institutions and industry companies, and manifestations of culture, gastronomy, and art, which makes the space an oasis for visitors: there They find from a good tobacco to a meringue to brighten the soul.
For this reason, in addition to the well-designed space -as always happens-, last year the stand was awarded as the best at the fair.
