Many of our Beachside Brides, Grooms and their guests are preparing to depart for Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. If you have an upcoming trip planned for this destination, whether it’s for a destination wedding or not, this post is for you.
Punta Cana is home to fragrant coconut groves, lush rainforests, limestone caves and many natural glories to behold. Its beaches are among the best in the world; stretching adjacent to a beautiful sea with 7 different hues of turquoise waters.
The Dominican Republic (DR) shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti and there have been several inquires from clients with regards to the impact this may have on their upcoming travel.
The DR Ministry of Tourism is assuring visitors that all of its cities, tourism and resort areas are conducting normal business operations:
“The DR government, consulates and embassies are also working diligently with international communities to provide earthquake relief for Haiti. Millions of Dominicans have donated time, money, supplies and expertise to help Haiti in these critical hours of need,” said one statement.
All of the tourist areas, hotels, resorts, airports and seaports are open and receiving visitors. The DR experienced NO damage from the earthquake or its aftershocks.
Major tourism regions, including Punta Cana and La Romana on the east coast, as well as the popular destinations on the north coast, are welcoming tourists from all over the world, says the ministry.
- All of the DR’s eight international airports are open.
- All Of the DR’s cruise terminals and seaports are open.
- All of the DR’s beaches, hotels, resorts and tourism businesses are conducting normal business operations.
- The DR did not experience any damage from any aftershocks that occurred in Haiti.
