At a time when the international landscape is tightening and affecting markets, consumption, and economic stability, the call for unity becomes more than a message. It becomes strategy.
Fernando Hazoury, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Cap Cana, supports President Luis Abinader’s initiative to convene a national dialogue among key sectors in the Dominican Republic.
Beyond the headline, the deeper message is clear. This is not only about dialogue. It is about acting quickly and in coordination in a context where decisions must be both strategic and timely.
Hazoury speaks from recent experience. The Covid 19 pandemic showed that when the public and private sectors align, the country responds more effectively.
Tourism as a strategic driver of the Dominican economy
Tourism once again takes a central role.
“Tourism is our oil”, Hazoury states, reinforcing a concept that has become essential in the Dominican Republic. Tourism not only generates revenue. it activates entire economic chains. It drives job creation, boosts consumption, attracts investment, and strengthens international perception.
Within this context, the eastern region stands out as a key pillar. This area concentrates some of the most important tourism destinations in the country, including Cap Cana.
Its strength goes beyond infrastructure and development. It also projects confidence, which is critical in times of global uncertainty.
Because in today’s environment, countries also compete on perception.
National dialogue and a shared vision in times of global crisis
Hazoury emphasizes the importance of strengthening competitiveness and maintaining international credibility. He also highlights the need to continue building a strong country brand that attracts both visitors and investors.
One key element stands out. The private sector is not acting as a spectator. It is actively participating in shaping solutions.
This national dialogue reflects a strategic mindset, not a reactive one.
Protecting vulnerable sectors, sustaining economic growth, and ensuring favorable investment conditions are interconnected goals. They require alignment across sectors.
The message is clear. The Dominican Republic has successfully navigated complex moments before. Its strongest responses have come when growth is approached collectively.
In a global environment marked by uncertainty, that collective vision may once again be the country’s smartest strategy.
