“These destinations are growing for a number of reasons,” said Caldwell. “However, the key is that they are all well-served by Delta Air Lines from cities across the U.S. and Canada. This gives travel agents more flexibility and more value when creating air and hotel vacation packages for their clients.”

The vacation destinations on the list are also experiencing sustained growth because of increases in room capacity and improvements in infrastructure, such as the recently completed San Pedro de Macoris-La Romana highway, which connects Santo Domingo with La Romana and La Romana with Punta Cana with trips times of less than one hour for each leg.
