The charm of the Dominican Republic goes beyond its paradisiacal beaches and rich culture. This Caribbean country has become a global leader in the wellness tourism industry, an achievement that positions it as an exceptional tourist destination for those seeking wellness and health in the midst of spectacular surroundings.

As part of the World Wellness Weekend, an international event involving 150 countries, the Dominican Republic was ranked first in the Caribbean and fifth worldwide in health and wellness activities.
