Tourist arrivals declined in June

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC - In Brief 23 Jul 2019 by Pavel Isa
The Central Bank has just published the official figures for the number of tourist arrivals for the month of June. There is much fear that the negative information that has circulated in the international press about the Dominican Republic as a tourist destination as a result of unfortunate and unrelated tourist deaths result in a significant reduction in tourist arrivals in the coming months. The June 2019 data confirm that the arrivals were reduced compared to the same month of last year. It is the first time that happens in many years. The number of arrivals reached 485,400, 12,500 arrivals less than in June 2018. If the growth rate observed until May had been maintained in June, the arrivals should have reached 515,200.
