The investment thesis for Punta Cana rests on public data from the Punta Cana destination: record air connectivity, high occupancy and a market that operates in USD.
Punta Cana is the tourism epicenter of the Dominican Republic and the gateway to the eastern Caribbean. Its international airport (PUJ) is the busiest private-traffic hub in the region, with direct connections to North America, Europe and Latin America.
The essentials of Punta Cana
- PUJ airport with over 11 million annual passengers and direct routes to three continents.
- Largest concentration of high-end hotel supply in the country.
- Mature residential market operating entirely in USD.
Structural demand
Punta Cana benefits from the tourist flow arriving through PUJ, the busiest private-traffic airport in the Caribbean. More direct flights mean more lodging and vacation-rental demand.
Appreciation and currency
Public reports place residential appreciation in the area between 9% and 13% year over year. Operating in dollars, returns are not eroded by exchange risk.
Tax framework
The CONFOTUR program (Law 158-01) provides tax exemptions for qualifying tourism projects. Specific conditions depend on each project and are validated with resident counsel.
