BanReservas spearheads tourism and real estate push in Puerto Plata
What happened
BanReservas, the state-owned bank, is spearheading a tourism initiative in the Puerto Plata region, describing Punta Bergantín as the “New North”. The bank reported that over $40 million in sales were finalized after meetings with businessmen from Santiago, alongside the sale of 263 plots of land. Hotel construction is crucial to the project, with a second hotel groundbreaking scheduled for early December 2026 and another 500-room hotel planned for March 2027.

Why it matters
The initiative operates as a public-private partnership aimed at boosting tourism and economic growth on the North Coast. The project relies heavily on real estate investment, citing a project by Pantaleón Salcedo involving 180 apartments. The expansion of hotel and real estate offerings is central to the regional economic strategy.
A project aiming to transform development in Punta Bergantín is being discussed in the context of tourism growth in Puerto Plata.
