Thousands of people enjoyed this platform that promotes domestic tourism during the weekend.
With a spectacular artistic closing, the province of Montecristi showed that it “has it all” by hosting over the weekend the Tourism in Every Corner platform, which promotes domestic tourism in the Dominican Republic.
With the Duarte Park (Parque del Reloj) of the main municipality as the venue, some 70 exhibitors, including gastronomy, local handicrafts, product sales and performances by artistic groups gathered last Saturday and Sunday, offering the public the diversified offerings of each of its six municipalities.
The closing of the event was attended by the main authorities of the province, including the governor Nelsy Cruz, the mayor of the head municipality Jesús Jerez, the elected senator Bernardo Alemán and other mayors of the municipalities.
Carlos Peguero, Deputy Minister of International Cooperation of Mitur, on behalf of Minister David Collado, highlighted the realization of Tourism in Every Corner in Montecristi because of the enormous potential of the province and to strengthen the tourism value chain in a sustainable way.
He advocated for the community to be empowered and be the great beneficiaries of the tourism product, so he urged them to continue working tirelessly for the development of Montecristi.
Peguero was also accompanied by the Vice Minister of Quality of Tourism Services, Roberto Henríquez and other local and Mitur authorities.
Meanwhile, Governor Nelsy Cruz affirmed that Tourism in Every Corner demonstrates that Montecristi is more than what can be exhibited, leader in rice and banana production and the attractiveness of the Morro as a paradisiacal natural resource, as well as the Chivo Liniero, which in terms of gastronomy makes it a city of enormous attractiveness.
At the foot of the restored Montecristi Clock of great historical value for this destination, a spacious stage was the scene for the performance of Los Potros, typical music groups, the folkloric ballet and typical group of Mitur, a representation of the carnival Toros y Civiles.
As well as, the group Raíces, the Special Angels Foundation, the Escuadrón de la Alegría JFK, ballet cane groups, folkloric dance Miladys Pérez and Angel Castillo and Santo Domingo group brought joy to the public, prior to the performance with a complete repertoire of merengue típico by El Prodigio who was in charge of the grand closing.
