Improving infrastructure is crucial for the Dominican Republic, where until recently the roads between many of the country’s popular resorts and its capital, Santo Domingo, were so poor that a simple day trip from one to the other was a big challenge.
This has now changed thanks to an expensive plan that has already remodelled the connections in the east part of the country. Visitors and locals can now reach the different coastal resorts, towns and historical sites more easily. An improved road network links Boca Chica, outside Santo Domingo in the south east of the country, to the famous Punta Cana, at the far eastern end, all the way up to Miches and Sabana de la Mar around the coast. Meanwhile, internal routes are also being completed.
