 Dominican eco-tourism:
"Chocolate Tour"
In the province of El Seibo, a new tour route for cocoa plantations is opened, which will soon be equipped with its own cable car between two mountain peaks in Los Botados, 8 km north of El Ceibo.

" Chocolate tour "is conceived as a unique opportunity for tourists to see with their own eyes the process of growing and producing cocoa in the eastern region of the Dominican Republic. The project was initiated by the eastern bloc of the Association of Cacao Producers (Bloque Este de Asociaciones de Productores de Cacao), which unites 3,000 small and medium-sized cocoa plants in the east of the country, and is supported by the authorities of the province of El Ceibo and the tourism sector. @

According to Frank Rainieri, one of the leading representatives of the Dominican tourism industry, Grupo PUNTACANA President Frank Rainieri, the new excursion tour will be another stimulus for the development of cocoa production in the eastern regions of the Dominican Republic and will be a good example of a natural tourism project. He said that in two years the project, involving the hotels of Bavaro and Punta Cana, will attract more than 50,000 tourists, which will be a good incentive for cocoa producers in Los Batados.

He also noted that the "chocolate tour" will become a sustainable and long-term project that will make a significant contribution to the economy of El-Ceibo. Ragnieri expressed his confidence that "the time has come for the development of ecotourism," and cocoa plantations should become the third attraction in the east after beaches and golf resorts.
