Tourism Minister Francisco Javier Garcia announced that last week the Council for the Promotion of Tourism Investments (Confotur) approved 24 new hotel and residential tourism developments nationwide. He said this was a RD$3.4 billion investment to build capacity for 14,000 new hotel rooms. He said there has been an injection of fresh funds that were previously invested in the US financial system and are now coming here to purchase properties in real estate developments.
