The event will not only kick off the island’s annual tourism event, but will also celebrate the anticipated transformation of the property to Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana.
“Hosting DATE is indeed an honor for us as we help to showcase the best the destination has to offer,” said Roberto Chapur, president, Palace Resorts. “And it is equally exciting for us to help lead off DATE this year with a special performance by Jon Secada as we also celebrate our rebranding to the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana.”

Every year, the event welcomes more than 100 tour operators from the main tourism markets of North America, Latin America and Europe. For three days, the tour operators take part in an effective business exchange with the leading providers of Dominican tourism including hotels, travel agencies and rental car companies.
