Abinader at the opening of the Hilton La Romana: “Covid is controlled in the Dominican Republic”

President Luis Abinader affirmed this Friday that the coronavirus is controlled in the context of a pandemic. Because of this, tourists are “safer than in their countries” of origin.

Upon opening the Hilton La Romana, an all-inclusive hotel complex that consists of two hotels: Hilton La Romana All-Inclusive Family Resort and the Hilton La Romana, An All-Inclusive Adult Resort, the head of state stressed that “here we have, all the security protocols so that there are more guaranteed health and their lives than in their countries of origin.”

He stated that despite the Covid-19 crisis, the hotel has advanced to the level that the United States lowered the DR’s travel risk rating from four to three.

“The Covid-19 situation in the Dominican Republic is under control today,” the president emphasized, according to Diario Libre.

Abinader highlighted the importance that for the first time, Hilton has its facilities in a hotel property, which as the second hotel chain in the world in terms of management, will help not only its brand but the entire country.

The activity, which began after 11:00 in the morning, was also attended by Bruce Wardisnsky, president of Playa Hotel & Resorts; the Minister of Tourism, David Collado, among other tourism sector directors.
