The Asociación de Hoteles y Turismo de República Dominicana (Asonahores) and the Association of Industries of the same country (AIRD), highlighted the need for statistical studies of that nation to be administered and executed by the Oficina Nacional de Estadísticas (ONE).
To achieve this goal, both associations asked the Congress of the Dominican Republic to approve the bill that aims to turn the entity into a National Institute of Statistics.
This initiative was presented during the signing of an agreement installed between the three organizations with which it is sought, according to the alliance, the production of statistical information necessary to increase business exchange between the manufacturing and tourism sectors, promote formal employment, reduce imports, generate foreign exchange and boost the growth of the economy.
The meeting was attended by Julio Llibre, president of Asonahores, Ligia Bonetti de Valiente, president of the AIRD and Pablo Tactuk, director of the ONE.
At the meeting, the business institutions present committed to cooperate and work as a team to carry out the National Survey of Economic Activity carried out by the ONE annually.
"We must create the conditions so that hotels and tourism companies find it easy and competitive to acquire their inputs in the local industry so that in five years we can double the business," bonetti said.
