The Dominican Republic, which reopened last fall, is trying to lure Sandals Resorts International to the Caribbean nation.

The Executive Chairman, CEO, and members of the Sandals Resorts International Executive Committee traveled to the Dominican Republic at the invitation of the Ambassador of the Dominican Republic in Jamaica.

The President of the Dominican Republic, Luis Rodolfo Abinader Corona, was met with by the SRI contingent.

Stewart said in a statement that they thoroughly enjoyed their time in the Dominican Republic and wish to thank President Abinader.

The exploratory visit was to learn more about the different destinations.

During the two-day visit, the team visited various areas of the island including Miches and Las Terrenas. This was the first official visit by the Jamaica-based luxury all-inclusive resort company to the destination.

The Dominican Republic is a revered Caribbean tourism destination and the tourism industry is critically important to our economy. We are excited about the possibility of our island nation becoming the first Spanish Caribbean territory to welcome the Sandals organization.
