 2007, January 16: The Dominican Republic’s
port in Puerto Plata is to be redeveloped to enhance its tourism potential.
Exports and Investment Center (CEI) executive
director Eddy Martinez told Dominican Today that he had received a number
of proposals to for re-development.
 It is expected that by expanding and
rehabilitating the port, the province will see a return to the situation in the
period 1971 to 1994, when cruise tourism generated, directly and indirectly,
thousands of jobs.
 The Atlantic Coast, as the Puerto Plata province
is known, docked its first cruise ship in 1971 and by 1994, was receiving
significant revenues and business from cruise calls.
Every week, according
to Dominican Today, this port received five ships with over 600 passengers
each, visiting for up to 10 days.
The redevelopment project is estimated to cost over 100 million
dollars.
