Starting July 1, the Dominican Republic will reopen its tourism industry. Like many other countries in the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic is heavily reliant on tourism and cannot keep its borders much longer.
In the most recent webinar, the country’s health and tourism experts are confident that the beloved Caribbean destination can reopen its borders to international tourists.
Executive Director of the Presidential Committee for COVID-19 Emergency and Sanity Affairs, Dr. Amado Alejandro Baez said that the country will reopen airports, hotels and restaurants in July as part of the country’s COVID-19 de-escalation plan.
The Dominican Republic has reported more than 20,000 confirmed cases and over 500 deaths as of Tuesday. The country has reported 12,000 recoveries at the same timeframe.
Tourists are expected to follow social distancing guidelines and safety protocols upon arrival.
