Cruise passengers arriving through La Romana, spend the most in the Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic had a clear goal in terms of tourist arrivals: 10 million visitors in 2023.
This figure was exceeded when combining the arrival by air, which totaled 8,058,671, with the 2,258,941 cruise passengers who registered in the ports nationwide. As a result, the sector reported US$9,751.0 million, according to data from the Central Bank.
A factor that also influences the income generated by the tourism sector is the spending of cruise passengers. Although the Dominican Port Authority (Apordom) assures and insists that each passenger of the vessels that arrive at Dominican ports disembarks, they do not, per note, and only the lines can confirm that data.
