Ports of Entry in the Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic is the Caribbean island with the most international airports. The Dominican Republic is larger than most Caribbean islands and an error in travel planning could place a tourist a four-hour bus trip away or US$100 taxi ride away from the hotel, when there very likely is an airport less than an hour away.
Travelers should also consider the possibility of booking their arrival to one airport and departure through another in order to see more of the country.
