In a recent interview, Demetrius Canton, the director of lodging supply for the Caribbean for Expedia, the leading Internet room booking website, praised the Dominican Republic's marketing campaigns. He pointed to the Dominican Republic as one of the Caribbean destinations that has been able to market itself effectively during tough times and as a result has reaped rewards.

"They are not as dependent on US travelers as many other islands are" as they have been successful at penetrating this South American market too, with tourists coming from Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Peru and Ecuador. Canton mentioned that Brazilians have many holidays, and are used to paying high hotel prices.
