This essential event was also attended by the Minister of Tourism, David Collado, who emphasized that the expansion of tourism in the area is based on a very important premise: sustainability.
Practices such as reuse and energy optimization in hotel accommodations and care for biodiversity, as well as waste management, are key elements to fuel this growth. During the DATE fair, Collado announced that the government will issue a resolution that contemplates the reduction of the use of plastics in hotels because "we are determined that the Dominican Republic will be an example of sustainable and environmentally friendly tourism".
