- Various institutions and companies will be present at the most important health tourism event in Central America and the Caribbean, which seeks to promote the competitiveness and quality standards of the sector’s services in the Dominican Republic.
Santo Domingo, October 2023: The 6th International Congress on Health and Wellness Tourism, to be held on 1 and 2 November 2023 at the JW Marriott Hotel in Santo Domingo, will have significant support from across the value chain that drives the tourism-health partnership.
Various public and private sector institutions will take part in and sponsor this biennial event, organised by the Dominican Health Tourism Association (ADTS) and the communication and public relations firm AF Comunicación Estratégica.
Dr. Alejandro Cambiaso, president of ADTS, speaking about the support received, said health tourism continues to consolidate in the country, leading us to keep reinventing ourselves, moving forward and strengthening the relationship between the public and private sectors, with the aim of encouraging investment in new projects that benefit the country and the sector.
“This initiative promotes best practices and encourages international accreditation and destination safety, building stronger links with the main source markets for tourists and patients,” highlighted Cambiaso.
Likewise, Amelia Reyes Mora, president of AF Comunicación Estratégica, said that given the nature of the event and its value as an excellent platform for business development and investment opportunities, it has the support of major business organisations seeking to strengthen this segment, revealing a clear vision of the future and the great business potential of this field.
Its two most recent editions brought together more than 800 participants and around 70 speakers from the Dominican Republic, Canada, Costa Rica, the United States, India, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Panama, Spain, Colombia and the Caribbean islands, as well as more than 110 sponsors.
