The Dominican Republic and the Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association (FCCA) have formalized a Presidential Strategic Partnership Agreement, reinforcing the country’s growing leadership in Caribbean cruise tourism.
The signing, which included President Luis Abinader, Tourism Minister David Collado, and FCCA President Adam Ceserano, celebrates the Dominican Republic’s exceptional growth in the sector and confirms the country as host of the prestigious PAMAC Destination Summit 2026.
Running through December 2026, the agreement aims to increase cruise passenger arrivals and investment while creating a national strategy to employ Dominican talent in the cruise industry. It also facilitates private meetings with cruise executives to develop local services, products and sourcing opportunities.
“This partnership reflects the Dominican Republic’s strong momentum in cruise tourism,” said Ceserano, praising the country’s commitment to long-term growth and global competitiveness.
