The information was offered by the Consul General of Canada in the DR, Collin Holditch, who said that tourists regularly visit the tourist areas in the North and East, specifically Punta Cana.
“The pandemic has obviously had an effect, but every year the number of Canadians visiting the country increases, and now that we’ve come out of the pandemic, we’re seeing that increase continue, so we expect that at over the next three years, that’s more than one million Canadian tourists a year,” he said.
He added that there are hotels with Canadian investments and there are many small businesses, especially in the North, according to Acento.
