Santo Domingo.- The country’s natural resources and the price of its services make it a very attractive destination for Brazilian tourists, whose number could double in the next few years.

Dominican-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce president Domingo Santana said the number of tourists from that nation grows rapidly, beyond the figures of their traditional preferences such as Cancún, Chile, Miami and Argentina.

Santana said for Brazilians, travel and lodging costs in Dominican Republic are even lower than if they were to visit tourist destinations in their own country, due to their currency’s present strength.

The business leader, interviewed by newspaper Hoy together with other executives of the Chamber, hailed the Tourism Ministry’s work, but noted that the Government must allocate more funds to promote Dominican Republic among the around 200 million Brazilians.

He added that that the country needs to heighten its present in Brazil’s various yearly tourism fairs with a stand, represented by Tourism, hoteliers, the Dominican embassy in Brazil and the Dominican-Brazilian Chamber.
