The country is open to tourism

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC - In Brief 01 Jul 2020 by Pavel Isa
As of July 1, the Dominican Republic is open to tourism. The government has authorized the reopening of passenger flights without discrimination as to origin, and the reopening of all hotels and restaurants, which are obliged to operate under strict sanitary protocols. Despite that, the sector's recovery is expected to be slow. The hotel and restaurant association has indicated that full recovery will take between 13 and 18 months. If true, this means that the return to the level of operation observed until before the epidemic will not be a reality until H2 2021. For now, the country's hotels expect between 60,000 and 100,000 tourists to arrive in July. This is equivalent to less than a quarter of the average monthly arrivals registered before March. The hotel association has also indicated that 30% of the capacity of the largest hotels is rehabilitated for reopening, which is equivalent to 10% of the total number of rooms available.
