The People
Optimism, enterprise and passion combine readily in the people of the Dominican Republic. Diversity brings strength, and the attractions of this country from the dawn of history are reflected in its people, whose global origins have created a world of outstanding cultural traditions.

Global migration found its origins here with the arrival of the Europeans and the impact has been unarguable. But against daunting odds in a region known for instability, the people of the Dominican Republic have demonstrated the power of their collective will to progress, in their own country and in the world. Just as they have welcomed all-comers, Dominicans understand what the rest of the world can offer them. Expatriate communities thrive, and from across the world send home funds that fuel growth based not on aid or loans, but on diligence and application.

Hunger for activity, for growth and improvement characterises the people of the Dominican Republic. Running through all of life here is a spontaneous and unaffected self-belief that informs the smallest act, and dreams with good reason of a future both great and within reach.
