Reported in September of 2018, the tourism in DR now exceeds 20% of the countries GDP. This is noted from the Dominican Hotels and Tourism Association (ASONAHORES). This may be surprising to many people who might believe the tourism is the largest sector of the GDP, but it still remains smaller than the Agriculture and manufacturing and mining sectors on the island. But with the National governments support to make the tourism sector a growing percentage of the GDP, the results are now starting to show. This means continued infrastructure support and international investment in the services and support that surround tourism.
