Verón Punta Cana, La Altagracia. — The Tourism District Office of Verón Punta Cana hosted an important meeting this morning with the Alianza Empresarial Turística de La Altagracia (ALETA), a key organization driving sustainable tourism growth in the eastern region. The delegation was led by José Sánchez, president of ALETA, and included executive director Alberto Gaforio and vice president Fabio La Rosa.
Business and Local Authorities Align on Urban Development Goals
During the session, ALETA representatives shared strategic concerns regarding land classification and zoning policies within the municipal area — particularly the distinctions between Urban, Developable, and Non‑Developable zones. These classifications are essential amid Verón Punta Cana’s rapid expansion, rising investment levels, and increasing land use pressure.
Participating on behalf of the municipal government was Juan Carlos Sánchez Villa, Director of Planning and Programming and the technical liaison with the Vice Ministry of Territorial Planning. Local authorities carefully listened to the input of tourism and real estate leaders, addressing critical issues tied to the Territorial Planning Draft Project, which is now entering its final phase of design.
A Sustainable Vision for Punta Cana’s Future
The forthcoming Territorial Planning Framework (POT) has been developed with scientific precision and a sustainability‑focused vision. Its main objective is to guide Verón Punta Cana’s urban and commercial growth in an organized, environmentally responsible, and socially balanced manner — ensuring harmony between economic activity, citizen well‑being, and the preservation of natural resources.
Public Participation and Transparency in the Next Phase
Municipal officials confirmed that the plan is ready to enter its public consultation phase, which will include community hearings and participatory workshops. These sessions will allow residents, business owners, and civic organizations to share their perspectives and contributions to the final document.
In the coming days, the official schedule of public hearings will be announced, reaffirming the municipal administration’s commitment to transparency, inclusion, and collective progress in shaping the sustainable future of Verón Punta Cana.
