Grupo Puntacana celebrated World Tourism Day with the planting of rain palm trees, a species in danger of extinction, as part of its commitment to the environment and symbolically representing the new stage that the pioneer company in the development of sustainable tourism in the Dominican Republic is beginning.

Today we are planting something that will last forever,” said Frank Elías Rainieri.
