The Dominican Republic saw July tourist arrivals rise 3.3% YoY, reversing a 1.5% decline in June. Air arrivals grew 6.5%, offsetting a continued fall in cruise passengers (-9.3% YoY from -12.7% in June). In Jan-Jul, arrivals rose 3.2% YoY, a sharp slowdown from 9.8% in 2024. After weak H1 2025 performance, mainly due to fewer US visitors amid policy uncertainty, gradual recovery is expected in H2 2025.
