Of the first three months of the year March saw the most significant uplift in arrival figures with a nine per cent increase as a result of 39,471 more visitors to the nation than in March 2011.Mr Garcia noted, The main reasons visits continue to increase are the country's magnificent, unspoiled nature, year-round sunny and warm climate, beautiful beaches, golf courses, world-class hotels, thriving culture and gastronomy. Visitors from around the world also say that their favourite aspect of the destination is how well friendly Dominicans treat them"
The announcement was made at the Dominican Annual Tourism Exchange (DATE 2012) event which was held at the Hotel Barcel Punta Cana Convention Centre.

Undoubtedly, the announced growth in the number of visitors booking Dominican Republic holidays during the first quarter of the year would have served to boost confidence in the island as a leading travel destination and has certainly raised the bar for the remaining months of 2012.
