The island nation of the Dominican Republic reopens for tourism on July 1.<\/p>\n

Lucien Echavarria, Director at the Ministry of Tourism of the Dominican Republic, told the Caribbean Journal that the country would be prepared to welcome international visitors at the beginning of the second half of 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout [the COVID-19 pandemic] we have remained in close contact with our tourism partners from operators to hoteliers to agencies,\u201d Echavarria said.\u00a0\u201cWe are ready and we know we are in a position to be among the fastest to recover because we are close and safe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unlike many other destinations, the Dominican Republic will open all regions at once, with all airports reopening to tourists on July 1. \u201cWe didn\u2019t want to do this region by region,\u201d Echavarria said. \u201cWe didn\u2019t want to do Punta Cana, then Puerto Plata and so on. No, we wanted to open the whole country so we can get back faster.\u201d<\/p>\n

Echavarria said that approximately half the country\u2019s hotels would reopen in July, with the remaining properties expected to reopen in November.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything you need to know before planning a trip to the Dominican Republic this summer.<\/p>\n

Upon arrival<\/h2>\n

The nation\u2019s land, sea and air borders have been closed to outside travelers since the pandemic began. But all of the nation\u2019s airports will resume commercial operations on July 1, including Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ), the Dominican Republic\u2019s busiest airport. Punta Cana expects a lot of its inbound traffic from New York and San Juan, Puerto Rico, and from airlines such as Air Canada Rouge and Frontier.<\/p>\n

According\u00a0to the Caribbean Journal<\/a>, Echavarria said that all passengers should expect multiple safety precautions at all Dominican Republic airports, including temperature checks upon arrival. Local open hotels are also preparing their own health and safety precautions for incoming guests.<\/p>\n

The country implemented\u00a0both a nightly curfew and mandatory face mask requirements\u00a0in public during lockdown, although it is not yet known if existing measures, which expire on July 1, will be extended.<\/p>\n

How to get there and Where to stay<\/h2>\n

Airlines<\/h3>\n

Google Flights shows a number of airlines operating flights to the Dominican Republic in early July. The cheapest flights we found were under $200 round trip in July.<\/p>\n

Hotels<\/h3>\n

Once you get to the Dominican Republic, you\u2019ve got a few options for stays. The adults-only all-inclusive\u00a0Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana<\/a>\u00a0and its family-friendly sister property, the\u00a0Hyatt Ziva Cap Cana<\/a>, are both available in late July from around $250 per night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
