In Paris, France, Tourism Minister David Collado inaugurated the Dominican Republic's participation in the French International Travel Market Fair (Top Resa) as a partner country of the event, within the strategy to recover French tourism to Quisqueya.
agreement was signed between the French airline Air France, the Dominican Republic and the Punta Cana Group for this airline to restart its flights to the country from January 13, 2026, with 3 frequencies per week connecting Charles De Gaulle Airport in Paris with Punta Cana International Airport.
The inauguration of the Dominican Republic pavilion was led by Minister Collado, the Dominican ambassador to France, David Puig ; the director of IFTM, Laurence Gaborieau ; the president of Asonahores, Juan Bancalari ; the executive vice president of Banreservas, Ysidro García ; and the businessman Frank Elías Rainieri , who represented Promiches, since Miches is the destination chosen by Mitur to be the focus of presentations at this fair.
“The fact that we are inaugurating this stand today as a partner country of one of the most important tourism fairs in Europe, and that our stand is right next to Air France's, is not a coincidence; it is a strategy to recover the French market and the air interconnectivity that this represents, since with the direct flights between Paris and Punta Cana we benefit not only French tourists, but also those from neighboring countries who fly with Air France,” Collado stated.
The Dominican Republic's participation in the 2025 edition of IFTM Top Resa is made up of more than 30 co-exhibitors from the private sector, which is the highest number in the history of this event and has the institutional sponsorship of Banco de Reservas.
other important agreements were signed this Tuesday that seek to promote tourism, including with the airlines Air Canada, Euroairlines and Air Caraibes , as well as with travel agencies and tour operators.
