Puerto Plata - During a meeting held at La Tarrapa Restaurant earlier this week, Dr Jose Natalio Redondo Galan, President of the tourist sector of Puerto Plata, reiterated the necessary boost the tourist city requires in order to keep it as a major destination in the Dominican Republic.

Jose Natalio mentioned that during the last 8 months a group of experts have been working with the tourism sector in Puerto Plata with the intent to contribute to make the city "THE" tourist destination on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic. He also mentioned there have been many conferences, one of which named "Call to Reality" in which businessmen from the tourist market have been devising a strategic plan to implement in 2010 in the hope of bringing in more business and tourists alike. It was also discussed that a web page for the North Coast be devised and implemented as soon as possible in order to benefit the destination both nationally and internationally.
