It logged a total of 365,544 arrivals in September.
The country has reported 3.3 million visitors so far in 2021, which is more than in the same period in 2019, prior to the pandemic.
Dominican Republic Tourism Minister David Collado says visitors are also staying longer, with an average stay of seven days.
A total of 3,694 commercial flights arrived in the Dominican Republic in September on 87 different airlines.

Officials are projecting as many as 4.8 million tourists by the end of this year.
