UNWTO has launched the first in a series of tourism investment guidelines focused on a specific country - Dominican Republic. The new guide provides key insights for investors, with the aim of boosting foreign direct investment in the Caribbean destination.
Launched against the backdrop of the FITUR tourism trade fair in Madrid, the investment guidelines represent a comprehensive tool for parties interested in FDI opportunities. In particular, they aim to attract and promote and retain investment in sustainable tourism initiatives in the Dominican Republic, including those that provide local jobs and build greater resilience across the sector.
The guidelines showcase the potential of closer public-private collaboration and make clear the importance of directing investments towards building new tourism business models centred on innovation and sustainability.
