Dominican Republic – Impact of cruise ship tourism in Puerto Plata analyzed
As part of the strategic alliance agreed between the Puerto Plata Destination Tourism Cluster (CTDPP) and the School of Tourism and Gastronomy of the Pontificia Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra (PUCMM), students and professors of the university visited the ports of Amber Cove and Taino Bay, to apply surveys that will reflect the impact generated by the cruise industry in the value chain and the local economy.
The field practice is part of a series of investigations to structure a market intelligence system that systematically, objectively, and transparently collects and examines data and statistics to plan strategically for tourism-related projects in the province.
