This new agreement focuses on continuing to elevate the traveler&#8217;s experience, strengthen loyalty, and generate a deeper and more lasting connection between those who visit the country and its tourist offerings.\n\nVisa, with a presence in more than 200 countries and territories and millions of cardholders around the world, has one of the most extensive, secure, and reliable digital payment networks globally. Its reach will amplify the visibility of the Dominican Republic in strategic markets such as the United States, the main source of tourists to the country, as well as in Canada, Europe, and Latin America.\n\nThe alliance, which makes the Dominican Republic the first Caribbean country to formalize this type of agreement with VISA, contemplates the development of joint promotion initiatives, segmented campaigns, exclusive benefits and experiences aimed at international travelers, in addition to strategic activations that encourage travel and consumption at the destination.\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal is clear: not only to attract more tourists, but to strengthen the relationship with those who already choose us. The aim is to accompany the visitor at every stage of their trip, from planning to their return home, offering smoother, safer and more memorable experiences. This collaboration will enrich their stay, facilitate their interaction with the local offer \u2014hotels, gastronomy, entertainment, shops and cultural experiences\u2014 and generate an emotional bond that transcends the trip. The goal is that each tourist not only returns, but becomes an ambassador for the destination.<\/p>\n\n\nThe Minister of Tourism, David Collado, stated: &#8220;Today we take a firm step towards a more tourism&#8221;\n\nmodern, more connected, and more people-focused. This alliance with Visa strengthens our vision of placing the visitor experience at the center of everything we do.\n\nWe want every tourist who arrives in the Dominican Republic to feel valued, supported, and positively surprised at every moment of their stay. We are building a tourism model that generates lasting bonds, drives return visits, and turns each visit into a story worth telling.\u201d\n\n&#8220;We thank the Ministry of Tourism of the Dominican Republic for the trust and shared vision that make this collaboration agreement possible, which represents an important step towards a more innovative, inclusive and sustainable tourism development model,&#8221; said Jorge Lemus, Senior Vice President and General Manager for the Caribbean and Central America of Visa.\n\n\u201cFrom Visa, we value the opportunity to contribute our experience, capabilities, and global reach to continue driving the Dominican Republic as a leading destination in the region, strengthening the tourism ecosystem through solutions that promote modernization, digitalization, and economic growth, convinced that public-private collaboration is key to generating opportunities and long-term well-being.\u201d\n\nWith this initiative, the Ministry of Tourism reaffirms its commitment to promote a more Human, innovative, and excellence-oriented tourism, consolidating the international projection of the Dominican Republic as a world-class destination.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ministry of Tourism of the Dominican Republic and Visa Inc. announced a strategic alliance aimed at strengthening the country&#8217;s tourism promotion and further consolidating the Dominican Republic as one of the leading destinations in the Caribbean.
