While participating in the Dominican Annual Tourism Exchange (DATE), Delta Vacations, the official vacation provider for Delta Air Lines, revealed that its business in the Dominican Republic is experiencing strong year-over-year growth.

Delta Vacations’ 2015 bookings to the Dominican Republic from key Delta Air Lines markets are up significantly. On average, bookings for travel from Atlanta, Detroit, New York and Salt Lake City have increased by nearly 50 percent year-over-year. Bookings through other cities including Boston, Indianapolis and San Francisco, have also increased over 2014 results.

Overall, booked room nights in the Dominican Republic are up by more than 20 percent. Along with solid growth in Punta Cana and La Romana, Delta Vacations is also seeing increasing interest in Samana. Booked room nights to the destination are up by nearly triple digits year-over-year.

Delta Vacations is also seeing increased demand for adults-only resorts in the Dominican Republic. For 2015, bookings for adults-only resorts are up by more than 40 percent, year-over-year. Group travel bookings to the Dominican Republic by more than 20 percent for the same period.

Much of this growth is with Delta Vacations’ strategic hotel and resort partners. These partners, which include AMResorts, Bahia Principe Hotels and Resorts, Barceló Hotels and Resorts, Iberostar Hotels and Resorts, RIU Hotels and Resorts and others, are strategically invested in the Dominican Republic and work closely with Delta Vacations to deliver positive revenue increases year-over-year. In fact, Delta Vacations’ Dominican Republic bookings for 2016 with these and other partners are already up more than 80 percent year-over-year from 2015.

Delta Vacations offers ways to earn toward SkyMiles Medallion status on all Delta marketed flights — including Medallion Qualification Dollars on all fares, and the best price guaranteed when booking vacation packages to any of Delta Vacations’ more than 250 destinations.
