Dominican Republic tourism officials have worked for years to attract pilots to tour their country by air, and efforts are finally paying off. The government had designated Caribbean Flying Adventures to lead tours and provide information.
“For private aviation, it is a paradise,” said Jim Parker of Caribbean Flying tours. Flying physicians, pilot clubs, and private tour groups have brought their planes to the country. There have been seven guided tours this year. For two people wishing to travel six days, five nights, the tour plus food and hotels is $1,100. The next tour is planned for February. Tours are limited to aircraft with the same or better performance of a Cessna 172.
