President Luis Abinader announced that the new route of Ferries del Caribe, departing from San Pedro de Macorís to Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, every day, will be from next July.
“A daily route starting next July of this year, which will bring new horizons to the Sultan of the East, impacting tourism and the economy of the region,” he said.
