Dominican Republic
Article Abstract:
There were 2.2 million visitors to the Dominican Republic in 1997, from only 63,025 in 1970. The island's tourist industry grew particularly rapidly in the early 1990s. Those involved in tourism are beginning to increasingly appreciate the fact that the Dominican Republic has a diverse geography, allowing tourists to be offered alternatives to sun, sea and sand. Tourism is currently concentrated around coastal towns. It has rapidly become a key element of the Dominican Republic's economy, with tourism earnings for 1997 estimated at more than $2 billion.
