National Tourism Award to be held at the Catalonia SD hotel

In its third edition, the National Tourism Awards 2024 will be held in Santo Domingo, in the great hall of the Catalonia Santo Domingo Hotel, on Tuesday, September 17.

The award has been increased from 9 to 12 categories, including recognition for Alternative Tourism, Travel Agency or Tour Operator of the Year and Best Tourism Service Provider.

The president of the awards, Luis Severino, indicated that after two years of having been successfully held in Puerto Plata, the award, already consolidated as an important recognition of the trajectory and excellence of Dominican tourism, had to be held in a key and emblematic destination such as Santo Domingo.

“This commitment, to celebrate the award in the city of Santo Domingo, obliges us to exceed all expectations and for that reason this year the ceremony will have new categories and new elements that complement the night of nominees,” he said.

With the addition of the new categories, he explained that the purpose of the National Tourism Award is to highlight successful experiences and best practices in tourism, while promoting a culture of excellence in the industry, oriented towards quality and sustainability.

Severino, while announcing the details of the award, in a ceremony held on the terrace of the Filigrana Restaurant, thanked the support he has received in past editions of the National Tourism Award, but especially the Catalonia Santo Domingo hotel for hosting the award and being the hosts of the third edition in 2024.

On his side, Catalonia Santo Domingo’s general manager, Iván Cunillera, indicated that as a company they firmly believe in quality and in having hotels with the highest standards every day, especially in service, and that is why the celebration of the awards is undoubtedly an incentive to all hoteliers who believe in the same.

“I do not want to pass the opportunity to congratulate and recognize Luis Severino who has achieved, with great effort, that the National Tourism Award is the highest recognition for hoteliers in the DR. Without your perseverance it would not have been possible and we were, are and will always be supporting you,” he emphasized.
