Two leading regional tourism organizations in the Dominican Republic’s Samaná peninsula have unveiled the seventh iteration of their flagship promotional resource, the Go Samaná tourist guide, designed to showcase the region’s expanding array of attractions and experiences to travelers from the Dominican Republic and across the globe.
The 2026-2027 edition of the guide delivers fully updated insight into this picturesque northeastern Dominican destination, covering everything from its postcard-perfect white-sand beaches and world-famous annual humpback whale migrations to its vibrant local cuisine, deep-rooted history and cultural traditions, lively nightlife, diverse cruise offerings and expanding nautical tourism options.
At 52 pages, the bilingual print publication spotlights can’t-miss attractions and one-of-a-kind experiences across six key Samaná locales: Santa Bárbara de Samaná, Las Terrenas, Sánchez, El Limón, Las Galeras and Arroyo Barril. Beyond highlighting existing draws, the guide frames Samaná as a premier multi-purpose destination ideal for nature-focused getaways, luxury destination weddings and international film production shoots, while shining a light on the region’s latest tourism infrastructure developments and ongoing efforts to diversify its travel offerings.
A core priority woven throughout the new guide is a commitment to advancing sustainable tourism practices across the region. Javier Lara, president of the Samaná Tourism Cluster (CTS), emphasized that the publication represents a collaborative effort across local tourism stakeholders to elevate the diversity and quality of Samaná’s travel products, while simultaneously pushing for responsible stewardship of the region’s rich natural resources and advancing economic and social well-being for local resident communities.
Abelardo Melgen, leader of the Association of Hotels and Tourism Companies of Samaná (Ahetsa), added that the updated guide forms a key pillar of a coordinated regional strategy to cement Samaná’s standing as a globally competitive travel destination. The initiative seeks to highlight not only the region’s stunning natural geography and cultural heritage, but also the warmth of its local residents and its untapped long-term tourism growth potential.
In addition to curated attraction listings, the guide includes a fully updated directory of local accommodation options and organized excursions, a detailed map marking the region’s most significant natural sites, and useful information about educational opportunities for individuals considering relocating to Samaná long-term.
Printed in both English and Spanish to serve a broad global audience, the Go Samaná 2026-2027 guide will be distributed across local points of interest throughout Samaná, as well as featured at major international tourism trade fairs where the Dominican Republic participates as an exhibitor.
