Known as the “breadbasket of the Caribbean” for its prodigious land and sea harvest, DR’s highly satisfying meetings bounty includes eight international airports, creatively minded local DMCs, hotels across all price points, mature meetings infrastructure, and superb heritage, adventure, and eco-tourism assets.
Founded in 1492 by Christopher Columbus, the capital of Santo Domingo, with its UNESCO World Heritage Site Colonial Zone, is the inspiring birthplace of the Americas and main base for major conventions, along with Punta Cana and its 40 miles of spectacular beaches. Puerto Plata, La Romana, and Santiago are equipped for mid-size meetings, with Samaná and the “two-for-one” destinations of Jarabacoa and Constanza, and Barahona and Pedernales, ideal for smaller gatherings.
From cigar factory tours in Santiago to Punta Cana’s globally acclaimed golf courses, the off-agenda menu is as flavorsome as the cuisine. Eco-adventures alone merit the meetings investment, ranging from whale watching to cave and waterfall tours.
