Tourism Minister David Collado announced via his social media that he has finalized agreements with several Canadian airlines, which will provide a total of 50,000 additional seats on the various routes connecting Canada with the Dominican Republic.
According to reports, Air Transat will be opening four new routesconnecting Canada with Punta Cana, Samaná, Puerto Plata, and La Romana during the 2025 high season, increasing connectivity between Canadian and Dominican cities by 15,500 additional seats.
Similarly, it was reported that the airline Sunwing will add 7 frequencies during the high season, which will add almost 30,000 new seats.
“For the Dominican Republic, it is vitally important to continue strengthening relations with these Canadian airlines that trust in our market, and that have contributed to Canada continuing to consolidate itself as the second most important country in terms of tourists sent to the Dominican Republic,” Collado said.
The Ministry of Tourism team conducted roadshows in Toronto and Montreal this week, meeting with over 300 tour operators and travel agents in those cities. During these events, Minister Collado took the opportunity to hold private meetings with airlines and other key players in the country's tourism sector based in Canada.
