Airporter: Punta Cana’s Musical Welcome

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - September 15, 2014

We’ve set it before. Here at CJ’s Airporter column, we’re big fans of the musical airport welcome.

After a long flight, a local band offers travelers to the Caribbean an immediate reminder that they’ve arrived in paradise. It also says that the airport itself has given a little extra thought to the experience.

And that’s nowhere more true than in Punta Cana, where air travelers are serenaded by an old-fashioned, traditional merengue band.

Punta Cana airport is one of the best-run airports in the region, and the band, which calls itself El Grupo de Punta Cana, is one of the highlights.

Even better? You even get to hear them when you depart.

Watch more of the group in the video below.
