Dominican ports improved to receive cruise ship passengers. The Port Authority exhibited to the Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association the improvements of Dominican ports to receive cruise passengers
The executive director of the Dominican Port Authority (APORDOM) presented to members of the Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association the progress made by Dominican ports towards the goal of making the Dominican Republic the cruise hub of the Caribbean.
Jean Luis Rodríguez, director of APORDOM, highlighted the efforts of the Dominican Government together with the private sector to go from three terminals to eight cruise ports and thus increase the capacity to receive tourists by sea, whose figure to date is around 816,408 passengers from January to date.
“Today we are receiving cruise passengers in two anchorages and four cruise terminals (San Souci, Amber Cove, Romana and Taino Bay, the latter two in expansion), in execution we have two more terminals (Port Cabo Rojo and Samaná Bayport), a process with the DGAPP for Arroyo Barril and the design analysis of a last one, in Barahona”.
While participating in the 28th edition of the Florida-Caribbean Cruise Lines Association (FCCAA) Conference, Rodriguez said: “I want to thank the FCCA for being an important ally in the journey that drives us to make our country a reference in the cruise industry”.
