Punta Cana began the year receiving more than 450,000 passengers at the airport during the first two months, a figure that has increased to 1.2 million foreign visitors, according to Punta Cana & Bávaro On line. This airport has become the number one airport of the country.

At the end of 2008 and during 2009 the tourism sector suffered tremendously due to the world economic crisis. During 2010, the tourism sector became stronger and has continued on the rise during 2011. According to the World Tourism Organization, a 6.6% increase has been detected in international tourism compared to 2010; the total number of arrivals between January and June this year reached 440 million, 19 million more than the same period in 2010.

Punta Cana is one of the most desired tourism destinations in the Caribbean, declared by UNESCO as one of the prettiest areas of the world because of its fine white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, warm sun, Caribbean rhythms and a good ambience for enjoying a vacation. With this panorama, it's not surprising that Punta Cana welcomes many international visitors, in fact many come back again and the more privileged even settle there. Most visitors come from South America, mainly Argentina and Brazil. The number of Spanish and British visitors has dropped while the number of Russian, German and Italian travelers has increased.
