Markus Wischenbart, the president of the Lifestyle Group, considered Dominican Republic’s tourism as key and a boost up at the same time, the words of praise from UNWTO’s Secretary-General during his visit to the country, said that “there is no better place to invest than this paradise.”
To quote the UNWTO executive, “there is no better place to invest than this paradise. A legally safe country, with a government, motivated to carry out interesting, creative, modern and sustainable projects.”
Wischenbart explained that these words became an appreciation of the winning efforts being made by Dominican Republic’s public and private sectors to achieve the full recovery of its tourism.
Also, he emphasized that Zurab Pololikashvili, the Secretary-General of the UNWTO, selected the Dominican Republic to holiday with his family and expressed those opinions about the country.
“For me, that is a great recognition of what we are doing to achieve the responsible recovery of tourism,” said the CEO of the Lifestyle Group.
UNWTO’s Secretary-General was on a break in the Dominican Republic. It took the chance to pay a courtesy visit to President Luis Abinader and the Minister of Tourism, David Collado.
At the Pololikashvili National Palace, he said that this Caribbean country is prepared to welcome tourists due to its sanitary protocol, security, and infrastructure.
The UNWTO leader highlighted the fact that he has seen with his own eyes that the Dominican Republic is safe, that it “complies with all the protocols in the world that are needed in these rare and difficult times.”
He believes that tourism’s total recovery guarantees the financial revival of the country impacted by COVID.
It is evoked that the Lifestyle Group is the owner of the Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Resort brands in the hotel branch and Lifestyle Holidays Vacation Club, in the branch of the promotion and sale of vacation packages. It started its work in the Dominican Republic in 2002, in the tourist enclave of Cofresí.
Holidays Vacation Club (LHVC) was developed by a group of Austrian investors, beginning with constructing the Hotel Hacienda de Puerto Plata on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic.
