Dominican Ambassador in France Laura Faxas says the DR needs to do more to take advantage of the European Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA). Faxas was interviewed in France, on occasion of the visit of a large Dominican mission to Paris for the French Travel Market fair. She told Listin Diario that on the embassy's agenda is increasing French cooperation and investment. She is also promoting tourism in France, focusing on attracting tourists that want to experience the culture and ecology. She is coordinating these efforts with the UNESCO that is based in Paris. She is working closely with Mercedes Castillo, director of the tourism promotion office.
She also spoke of volunteer tourism, and said there are many non-governmental organizations in the DR that could be the local counterpart for these experiences.
She said there are an estimated 250 Dominicans in France.
