Sandals believes the Dominican Republic has potential for its brand

Sandals’ executive chairman Adam Stewart and chief executive Gebhard Rainer were among a delegation that met the country’s president Luis Rodolfo Abinader Corona during the two-day trip.

The group scouted areas including Punta Cana, Miches and Las Terrenas during the visit, the first by a delegation from the Jamaican all-inclusive resort company to the country, which has built its tourism industry on the all-inclusive concept.

Stewart said: “We thoroughly enjoyed our brief but fruitful time in the Dominican Republic and wish to thank our hosts, especially President Abinader.
