The Dominican Republic Announces Inter-Active “Pop-Up” Exhibit to Promote North Coast City of Puerto Plata

Santo Domingo, May 14, 2019 – The Ministry of Tourism of the Dominican Republic recently announced the opening of the POP Funhouse Exhibit – using the “pop-up or emerging window” format – in various U.S. cities to promote the spectacular beauty of the country’s north coast city of Puerto Plata.

The exhibit will officially open May 16 in Miami, Florida. The exhibit will then continue on to Boston, on June 10, as explained by Magaly Toribio, Marketing Advisor for the country’s Ministry of Tourism.
The free exhibit will encourage visitors to participate in an inter-active experience where they will also have the opportunity to win all-inclusive travel packages to this beautiful region, situated in the Dominican Republic’s scenic north coast.
“We understand that today’s travelers are looking for authentic places to visit during their vacations. They want to discover new destinations, places that will offer them a wide variety of options, including adventure tourism and the possibility of getting to know the local culture,” explained Ms. Toribio.
She also stated that Puerto Plata offers all this and much more, which is why the tourism sector wants to promote a fun and attractive activity that will help promote one of the most beautiful cities in the D.R.
In the POP Funhouse visitors will enjoy eight exhibits that will feature Puerto Plata’s most important attractions. Some of the themes exhibited are Puerto Plata’s iconic Victorian homes, kite surfing, the city’s impressive cable car ride through the mountains, the Amber Museum, as well as an exhibit titled “A World of Waterfalls.” Also featured are the city’s art murals and the traditional “colmados,” or neighborhood grocery stores.
