Santiago.- The former Minister of Tourism of the Dominican Republic, Francisco Javier García, highlighted that, in his opinion, the advances in tourism for the city of Santiago have been able to materialize today thanks to the transformations of the last six years, carried out by Mayor Abel Martinez.
“It must be recognized that compañero Abel Martínez, in his capacity as a successful mayor, has not only endeavored to maintain the city’s beauty, but has also contributed to adding value through the implementation of comprehensive development initiatives , with multiple actions”, expressed Javier García.
The current National Campaign Coordinator of the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD) said that the orientation of the also presidential candidate, to enforce order, cleanliness and compliance with the law, has allowed Ciudad Corazón today to be in a position to be promoted as a tourist destination outside national borders.
Valora Government promotes Ciudad Corazón
In this order, the former minister welcomed the Government’s initiative to promote the city of Santiago as a tourist destination at the Anato Tourism Showcase Fair, held this week in Colombia.
He said that “taking into account the extraordinary value that tourism represents and the potential that Santiago has developed in recent years,” the decision to promote Ciudad Corazón as a tourist destination should be considered correct.
“The Dominican Republic is more than sun and sand in view of the fact that it has places outside the marine coastlines, which meet the conditions to be promoted in order to attract national and foreign tourists, therefore, we welcome this decision of the Ministry of Tourism and the Government to promote Santiago in Colombia among our tourist destinations,” he said.
