Enhancing Tourism and Biodiversity in the Dominican Republic: Recommendations for Tourism Development at the Aguas Blancas Waterfall Site
This report supplements the assessment of biodiversity threats and a conservation strategy for the Aguas Blancas waterfall (Wylie and Bauer 2009) and the on-going development of community-based tourism for the village of El Convento near Valle Nuevo National Park, as part of the Dominican Sustainable Tourism Alliance. This report responds to specific needs identified in the initial biodiversity assessment and business plan, including: • Designs for marketing materials and souvenirs • A plan for signage and interpretation • Need for food services (comedor) • Options for new hiking trails • Alternative business opportunities for El Convento
