During his visit this week to Toronto, Canada, the Minister of Tourism, David Collado, signed agreements with the main tour operators of that nation, as part of the strategy of the portfolio and the Tourism Cabinet.
The agreements were signed with Air Canada Vacations, WestJet Vacations and Sunwing Travel Group, responsible for sending more than one million Canadian tourists to the Dominican Republic each year.
Collado also held a meeting in Toronto, in which more than 200 travel agencies and tour operators participated to strengthen the country's image and promote its destinations.
Last year, the minister also carried out similar activities in the United States and Spain. “We are ready to welcome you and for you to enjoy a magical and safe destination,” Collado stated during the event.
The Dominican Republic continues to be the number one country in the world in tourism recovery, and in the coming days, the World Tourism Organization will present an award to President Luis Abinader and Minister David Collado for this outstanding achievement, according to a press release from the Ministry.
60,000 foreign losses
The strategy to recover the Canadian market was strengthened by the loss of 60,000 foreigners due to the war between Russia and Ukraine, countries that sent a large number of tourists to the country monthly.
