La restauración de jardines de corales en diferentes litorales de la República Dominicana, ha sido propuesta como un nuevo  atractivo turístico por varias entidades ambientales que trabajan en  la restauración y conservación de ese recurso marino.

La iniciativa es sustentada por La Fundación Ecológica PUNTACANA, la Universidad de Miami y Counterpart International, que desde hace nueve años llevan a cabo investigaciones y proyectos implementados con notables avances sobre la restauración y conservación de arrecifes de coral en el país.

Durante el Taller de Recuperación y Restauración de Arrecifes de Coral realizado en las instalaciones del hotel Holiday Inn, se presentaron los resultados de los trabajos que han venido realizando estas instituciones durante 9 años, las implicaciones que tiene para el país la conservación de esta especie y las futuras acciones que se planean llevar a cabo en el país y en el Caribe para su preservación.

Tourists who come to the area maybe unaware that Punta Cana is specifically the name of the

area to the south of the airport where the very first hotel was built. Most of today’s resorts are

actually in Cabeza de Toro, Bavaro, Cortecito, Arena Gorda, Macao and Uvero Alto. But nearly

all the hotels use the name Punta Cana in their branding even when they are not geographically

located in Punta Cana. Here follows Punta Cana’s history in a nutshell…

Back in 1969 a group of American investors bought 30 square miles of undeveloped land

bordering 5 miles of the east coast of the Dominican Republic in the province of La Altagracia.

The land was pretty much just impenetrable jungle and bush with no access roads and only a

handful of small, fishing villages dotted along the coast. But the beaches were some of the most

beautiful on the island with their white sand, coconut palms, crystal clear waters and protective

coral reefs.….

A few years later a Dominican entrepreneur Frank R. Rainieri joined them with his vision to

create a resort community that respects the natural habitat while offering visitors a world class

vacation experience.

At the time the area was called Punta Borrachón (Drunken Point). Señor Rainieri wisely decided

to rename it Punta Cana. Together with Theodore W. Kheel, an influential American lawyer and

labour arbitrator, Dominican fashion designer Oscar de la Renta and international music artist

Julio Iglesias they formed the Tourist Development, Residential and Industrial Company

currently known as Groupo PUNTACANA
