  • Asonahores and AIRD signed an agreement to strengthen links between the Dominican tourism sector and domestic industry.
  • The partnership focuses on productive linkages and sustainability, with the aim of increasing local suppliers’ participation in tourism.
  • AIRD Executive Vice President Mario E. Pujols said the agreement seeks to move beyond years of discussion toward practical cooperation.

The Dominican Republic’s tourism and industrial sectors have formalized an alliance intended to give domestic producers a larger role in supplying the country’s tourism businesses.

The Dominican Hotels and Tourism Association, known as Asonahores, and the Dominican Industries Association, or AIRD, signed the agreement during Expo Asonahores. The groups said they want tourism growth to create a stronger impact across the national economy.

The agreement sets out two main areas of work: productive linkages and sustainability. Mario E. Pujols, AIRD’s executive vice president, explained that the first pillar will examine how domestic industries and producers can connect more effectively with tourism and expand their role as suppliers to establishments operating in the country.

Pujols said the partnership is intended to move the two sectors beyond a conversation that has continued for years about the importance of building those links. The supplied report ends as he begins to describe that shift.
