Edmund Bartlett had brief discussions in Spain today with President of the Dominican Republic (DR), His Excellency Luis Abinader and other top DR officials to strengthen tourism relations. This will in part result in a new level of multi-destinational tourism aimed at redefining how tourism functions in the region.
The impact of the pandemic on tourism worldwide and consequently on the world economy has been tremendous. The contribution of tourism to the Global Gross World Product in 2020 - $4.7 trillion - was about half that of 2019. In a recent paper, the director general in charge of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) estimates that in the most optimistic scenario, at the end of the year, we will be 60% below 2019.
In a time when it seems like all we hear every day is news about deaths, terror, protests, and crime, it does the spirit good to hear about something going right in the world.

UNWTO had originally planned a last-minute ministerial meeting covering the Americas region to be hosted in the Dominican Republic which directly conflicted with the recently-concluded WTTC Summit that was held in Cancun, Mexico.
HE David Collado today realized the importance for the public sector to partner with the private travel and tourism world. He made good on an error he was pushed in without realizing and is now on the list of Tourism Heroes for WTN.
The WTTC Global Summit is scheduled to bring major travel industry leaders together in Cancun on April 25-27. This event now has competition in the Dominican Republic thanks to an hostile approach by a hostile World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) secretary general.
