Santo Domingo.- Luis García, the Dominican Republic’s ambassador to Honduras, announced two significant agreements between the two nations aimed at enhancing tourism and trade.
The first agreement, signed on July 31, is an air trade pact that aims to establish a direct flight route from Santo Domingo to Tegucigalpa, Honduras, which currently does not exist. García noted that travelers currently have to fly through Miami, Panama, or Colombia, and the new route is expected to increase tourism and facilitate the transportation of agricultural products and medical supplies to Honduras.
The second agreement was signed on October 5 in Punta Cana and focuses on collaboration in the tourism sector between the Honduran Tourism Institute and the Dominican Republic’s Ministry of Tourism. García highlighted that the Dominican Republic aims to share its tourism expertise, having welcomed 10 million tourists last year, and views tourism as a vital opportunity for cooperation and strategic alliances that can attract diverse tourist demographics, including those interested in cultural experiences.
