Thelma Martinez from the National Hotel and Restaurant Association (ASONAHORES) says that hotel owners are having to perform juggling acts to meet the demand. Martinez added that in the last few years the DR has tried to change its tourism model and has moved towards high end/high yield tourism for tourists with very high purchasing power. According to initial estimates, the DR will experience a 3% to 4% growth rate in the tourism sector for 2008.
