The Dominican Republic Just Topped 4 Million Visitors for 2024
The Caribbean’s most-visited destination continues to see record-breaking tourism numbers, according to new data from the Dominican Republic Ministry of Tourism.
The Caribbean tourism giant is reporting 4.178 million visitors through the first four months of 2024 — a new record for the destination.
That aligns with the Dominican Republic’s stated projection of reaching 11 million total visitors (combining air and cruise passengers) for the calendar year.
The Dominican Republic has received more than 3 million air arrivals so far, a 10 percent increase over the same period in 2023, and, perhaps more impressively, a 24 percent increase over the first four months of 2019, before the pandemic.
On the cruise side, the DR reported 1.139 million cruise passengers, itself a 15 percent increase compared to last year.
The 4.178 million number is “another record,” said Dominican Republic Tourism Minister David Collado.
