While negative press swirls around the Dominican Republic, especially after the disappearance of tourist Sudiksha Konanki, the real story is Punta Cana’s massive tourism surge — and how it's quietly overtaking Cancun as the top Caribbean destination.
- ✈️ Cancun Airport traffic is down 9%
- 🧳 Travelers are frustrated by inefficiencies and safety concerns
- 📈 Punta Cana tourism is up 43% since 2019
- 🇺🇸 Strong U.S.-Dominican trade ties and proximity fuel growth
- 🏗️ Real estate is exploding from Punta Cana to Miches — with Four Seasons, Hilton, W Hotel, and Playa Palmera projects underway
- 🎭 Cultural infrastructure is booming: the Frank Rainieri Cultural Center, Las Galerias expansion, and more
For real estate investors, expats, or digital nomads — Punta Cana offers opportunity, stability, and upside Cancun just isn’t matching right now.
