CAP CANA.- The Association of Multiple Banks of the Dominican Republic (ABA) successfully held the first version of its ABA GOLF CUP tournament, with the participation of 120 players, including banking executives, executives from the financial sector and other companies in the country who met at the Punta Espada golf course in Cap Cana, La Altagracia province.
Pamela Castillo, Director of Communication and Marketing of the ABA, was in charge of welcoming those present, representing Rosanna Ruiz, president of the banking association. She said that the occasion marks a milestone in the financial sector and that the intention is for it to become a tradition that fosters brotherhood, beyond multiple banking.
For his part, Jorge Subero Medina, executive president of Cap Cana, thanked the organizers for choosing the location for the first edition of the sporting event. In this context, he highlighted that the banking sector has been closely linked to the development of Dominican tourism and, very especially, to the so-called “Destination City”, as the tourist and real estate complex is called.
