Sustainable tourism expansion is boosting foreign investment in the Dominican Repuublic by attracting eco - conscious travellers and investors through its commitment to environmental protection and cultural heritage preservation, leading to increased confidence in the sector and significant FDI inflows.
This focus on sustainability, combined with the country’s diverse ecosystems and a robust tourism recovery post - pandemics, positions the Caribbean country as an attractive and growing market for green tourism ventures.
The expansion of sustainable tourism has also generated employment opportunities, local capacity development, and diversified the offering. By combining uniqueness, innovation, and environmental responsibility, the Dominican Republic is not only strengthening its tourism sector but also promoting long – term economic and social impact.
The global eco - tourism market is experiencing exponential increase, creating immense exponential growth and immense economic opportunities that the Dominican Republic is well - positioned to capitalize on.
The roadmap toward a more conscious tourism model has contributed to strengthening the attraction of international capital. According to figures from the Central Bank, foreign direct investment (FDI) reached historic record of $523 million in 2024, with growth projected for 2025 exceeding $4.86 billion, with tourism standing out as the main driver.
This boom responds to a global trend : travellers increasingly value experience connected to nature and local culture, making the Dominican Republic a competitive destination due to its sophistication and environmentally conscious policies.
Also the high - end tourism in the Dominican Republic is transforming : luxury is no longer measured solely by exclusive suites, but by the ability to offer authentic, sustainable experiences that have a positive impact on local communities and in this context the country is consolidating its position as a very strategic destination for responsible tourism, generating opportunities for both investors and developers of premium projects.
Hyatt Inclusive Collection, a brand part of Hyatt Hotels Corporation, an American multinational hospitality company based in Chicago, Illinois, one of the key players in this transformation, asserts that its projects seek to go beyond traditional luxury by integrating innovation, sustainability, and local culture.
The company’s Vice President of Development Fernando Fernández said that the group commitment at Hyatt Inclusive Collection goes beyond traditional luxury. Hyatt Hotels Corporation seeks to transform hospitality through projects that integrates innovation, responsible practices, and local culture, generating a direct and positive impact for guests and the local communities.
Initiatives led by Hyatt Hotels Corporation on the Caribbean island include efficient energy and water use, plastic reduction, the incorporation of local producrs, and community outreach programs.
Vice President of Development at Hyatt Hotels Corporation added that for the group, the true value of each project is measured by how it benefits both visitors and residents of the region.
Other examples of this trend include projects such as Dreams Playa Esmeralda Resort & Spa, which collaborates with the local group Promiches in the conservation of sea turtle nesting areas, and Royal Beach in Punta Cana, which promotes visitor interaction with the community through environmentally responsible activities.
