Sustainable tourism is the promotion of economic development and the creation of quality jobs, while maintaining a strong commitment to the protection of the natural environment and a respect for local communities.

Grupo PUNTACANA has been a pioneer in sustainable tourism for more than 35 years, both in its environmental practices and its concern for the surrounding communities. Among its many initiative as a pioneer in corporate social responsibility in the Dominican Republic, Grupo PUNTACANA has created the PUNTACANA Ecological Foundation and PUNTACANA Foundation as the instruments to protect and restore the natural resources of the region, to provide jobs, educational opportunities and healthy livelihoods for the local community, and to promote the vibrant cultural past and present of the Dominican Republic.
