The Caribbean nation of the Dominican Republic is poised to hit a major milestone in its cruise tourism expansion strategy, with Dominican President Luis Abinader confirming the official opening of the long-awaited Port Samaná for November 24. Developed under a forward-looking public-private partnership between private developer ITM Group, the Dominican Port Authority, and the national Ministry of Tourism, the project is already being hailed as a cornerstone of the country’s economic growth agenda. Currently wrapping up its final construction and preparation phase, the new port is projected to create more than 4,000 local jobs while elevating Samaná to a top-tier cruise destination across the Caribbean.
