Santo Domingo.- Ms. Sonia Villanuela de Brouwer, Dean of the Consular Corps, called out on the certified Diplomatic and Consular community in order for them to integrate to this important initiative.
The Certified Consular Corps in the Dominican Republic offered a cocktail in support of the 3rd International Congress on Health Tourism and Wellness which will take place on September 1 and 2, in Santo Domingo, organized by the Dominican Health Tourism Association and AF Comunicación Estratégica.
Ms. Sonia Villanueva de Brouwer, Dean of the Consular Corps, called out on the Diplomatic, Consular, investor and productive sectors in order for them to integrate to this important initiative. This congress is considered as the most relevant in the Caribbean region, because of its multisector components, innovation and business development.
At the act, the President of the Dominican Health Tourism Association, Dr. Alejandro Cambiaso Rathe, declared that health tourism is an activity aligned with the presidential goals and represents a branch which favors the transfer of technology and knowledge, job creation and development of new projects in the benefit of Dominicans and the international community.
Also Amelia Reyes, President of AF Comunicación Estratégica and Vice-president of the Dominican Health Tourism Association informed that important decision making individuals will assist to the Congress in order to impulse the strategic planning of the sector, as well as internationally certified entities and experts. “In addition, legal, touristic and medical panels will take place and there will be spaces designed to show our services, conduct business and invest in the sector”.
The honorable consul of Monaco, Ms. Sonia Villanueva de Brouwer, highlighted the importance that the members of the Consular and Diplomatic Corps in the country understand and are able to promote in their countries the benefits that the Dominican Republic offers, in order to respond to the needs of the tourists who visit us from the countries that they represent.
The dean of the consular corps also highlighted the contribution of the second edition of the medical tourism guide by the Medical Tourism Association and the Dominican Health Tourism Association, given that it represents the perfect tool to orient the international community about health and wellness professionals and centers that are duly certified to offer assistance.
Also, the dean pointed out that the Dominican Republic is an attractive touristic destination; hence, if we add a trustworthy health structure with certified centers, people from all over the world will come to retire, which results in great added value.
The Grupo Viamar chose the exhibition room of the international vehicle brand Lincoln that they represent as the scenery to support the developments in health tourism in the Dominican Republic, considering that it constitutes encouragement to sustainable development.
High executives and certified diplomats and consuls of the United States, Canada, Europe and the Caribbean were present during the event, as well as representatives of diverse sectors, including health, tourism and financial.
