The event will take place on Saturday, June 11 and will be free of charge for all participants, which expects to receive more than 2,000 people willing to change their lives. This day will take place within the framework of the Cap Cana Wellness Weekend to be held in the Destination City from June 10 to 12.

World Wellness Day is chosen to develop a non-profit social project dedicated to better living. The purpose is to motivate people to ask themselves the question: How can I live a better and healthier life, in order to direct the thoughts of individuals and society towards “living well” and to raise awareness of this global movement that has been developing in recent years.

According to the Global Wellness Institute, the wellness industry is now valued at US$4.2 billion. In 2018, immersive and holistic spa experiences continued to gain appeal among travelers looking for more than the standard massage or quick facial.

As this trend continues, a growing number of hotels, cruise lines, tour operators and destinations are specializing in wellness travel and finding new ways to evolve their offerings.

This is why Cap Cana, Eden Roc, Punta Espada and Los Establos in its continuous growth as a Wellness destination, are proud hosts of this launch of the Global Wellness Day 2022 in Dominican Republic as a commitment to promote wellness and healthy lifestyle.

Pedro Castillo, Global Wellness Day ambassador for the Dominican Republic and director of Wellness and Lifestyle for the Eden Roc hotel, invited the entire community interested in promoting this way of life to enjoy this day, where fitness and spiritual activities will take place.

In addition, there will be two halls with talks on nutrition, personal motivation, economics, soccer tournament, cycling, 5K and 10K races, among others, as well as organic markets and a variety of healthy food options.

Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic – June 3, 2021 – While countries advance in the vaccination processes and world tourism begins to reactivate after a historic fall in 2020, the Dominican Republic maintains the lead and reaffirms its leadership position in Latin America, consolidating itself as a world reference recognized by specialized international agencies thanks to its responsible recovery strategy deployed in a sustained manner since September 2020.

The set of measures contained in the plan has ensured that the country’s tourist poles remain safe places for visitors, with a positivity rate close to zero in the random tests applied at the main airports to incoming passengers.

Among these measures that remain in place are the vaccination of 100% of the tourism service personnel, compliance with health protocols, the elimination of the requirement to submit PCR tests to enter the country, the application of random tests and the implementation of the Health Assistance Plan that covers COVID-19 for all tourists who go to hotels, as well as the implementation of certified protocols throughout the value chain.

The Ministry of Tourism reported last Tuesday, June 1^st, the maintenance of the actions contained in the plan and the extension of the time of tourist assistance coverage until July 30^th, 2021.

These measures have been complemented with an aggressive strategy to promote the country, agreements to maintain the most important routes and create new routes, and identification of strategic allies in the value chain.

“Additionally, the country is among the first 5 countries in the region for the advance rate of vaccination, which allows it to continue with a policy open to tourism,” says a statement from the Ministry.

Anticipating the effect of a possible new worldwide strain, the Dominican Government reinforced security measures trying to reduce the chances of an increase in infections, as well as the health of the population.

Since December, tourism in the Dominican Republic shows recovery indicators, with May being the best month in terms of arrivals in the last 12 months, which confirms the confidence of tourists and tour operators in the measures adopted by the country.

The sector represents one of the main engines of the Dominican economy. The country has the presence of more than 70 hotel chains, has agreements with more than 100 airlines and the main world tour operators. Dominican airports receive tourists from more than 500 cities in the world.

In addition to granting a free medical assistance plan for those visiting the country, Dominican Republic is one of the most advanced countries when it comes to vaccinating its citizens, which includes more than 50,000 employees in the tourism sector.

As part of the security measures and protocols to take care of both visitors’ and hotel employees’ health, MITUR validates all hotels, airports, and tourist businesses’ operations with international certifications such as Safe Travels and Bureau Veritas.

For MITUR, the visitors’ well-being and safety are a priority, so it will continue to coordinate with other relevant authorities to continue strengthening the country’s preventive measures against coronavirus.
