Dominican ambassador Hector Dionisio Perez says trade with Brazil by 2014-2015 is expected to reach US$1 billion, with imports totaling US$900 million and exports US$100 million. In an interview with Listin Diario, he said that trade today is at US$416 million, down from a high in 2007, when exports were US$471 million.
But the DR compensates with the tourism flow. In 2004, 5,251 Brazilian tourists visited the country. In 2010, 38,000 tourists came from Brazil. Efforts are under way to attract low-cost carrier Gol, which would have a significant impact on the number of Brazilian travelers, who are especially attracted by the all-inclusive resorts.
Perez said that the Brazilian export-promotion body Apex is organizing a mission of 50 Brazilian business representatives who will be arriving this coming Monday. The delegation includes representatives of 23 bio-energy companies.
