The Dominican Republic seeks to capture more French tourists at the IFTM TOP RESA 2026 fair, which will take place from September 14 to 17 in the French capital. The country will participate in the event with dozens of companies that will seek to do business with airlines, tour operators and potential investors. In 2025, 135,000 French tourists visited the Dominican Republic, and the Government seeks to increase this number, considering that the French market has 38 million annual travelers.
The Minister of Tourism, David Collado, managed to resume direct flights between France and the Dominican Republic at last year’s fair, and now the country seeks to consolidate itself as an attractive destination for the French. The Top Resa fair is one of the three most important in Europe and will be developed with rounds and exhibitions to promote leisure and business tourism.
The Dominican Republic has managed to attract more than eight million visitors by August and bets on surpassing 12 million by the end of the year, especially those of long distance and long stays. The country is recognized by foreign tourists as the pearl of the Caribbean and seeks to take advantage of this market to boost its economy.
