Report from Allianz Partners shows Americans are choosing Dominican Republic for their spring getaways

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC – March 31, 2021 – New data from Allianz Partners shows that American travelers are flocking to Dominican Republic for spring break this year. According to their traveler survey results, Punta Cana claimed the number six spot on the spring break list, moving up from the number 10 spot in 2020.

As a result of the Dominican Republic’s stringent safety measures and effective vaccination plan, the country is planning to increase its hotel occupancy from 60 percent to 80 percent for Easter travel, further solidifying Dominican Republic as a world example of tourism recovery amidst the pandemic.

“Our country is full of unique accommodations, uncharted adventures, warm, friendly people and now, some of the most meticulous safety measures in the region,” said David Collado, Dominican Republic Minister of Tourism. “As peak travel season approaches, we invite travelers to recharge with us and explore all that Dominican Republic has to offer.”

Between the country’s recently revised visitor entry process via its E-Ticket platform, emphasis on safety protocols, ease of access via numerous existing and new flights, and now increased inventory level – travelers’ much-needed reprieve from winter weather and cabin fever has never been more accessible.
