Samaná, Dominican Republic.- With its breathtaking beaches and versatility Samaná seeks to consolidate its status as one of Dominican Republic’s leading tourism destinations, with a goal to reach 500,000 visitor arrivals per year by 2020.
Samana Tourist Figures 2018 as quoted by Samana Tourism Cluster president Henry Ulloa said the peninsula reached around 350,000 tourists in 2016 and expects a yearend jump of 10%.
He said that area hoteliers are upbeat of a resurge during the last months of the year, after a slight decline blamed on hurricanes Irma and Maria. “Fortunately, both phenomena didn’t cause considerable damage to the tourist infrastructure of this coastal province.”
Ulloa said they project a 90% occupancy in Samaná’s 4,000 hotel rooms for the next high season.
Official figures show that the number non-resident tourists arriving at Samaná’s El Catey airport has climbed from 33, 902 in 2014 to 40, 887 so far this year.
