"As we continue to expand our portfolio in the Caribbean, we are focusing on markets such as the Dominican Republic where tourism plays such an important role in the country’s economy," said Juan Corvinos, Hilton’s VP of development, Caribbean and Latin America.

The nation welcomed over 6.5 million visitors in 2018 however Dominican Republic hotels posted a an occupancy rate decline of 6% in 2019, due mainly to safety and security issues after a spate of deaths at resorts.
