💨 Abstract
Winter in the UK contrasts with the warm climate of the Dominican Republic, which is seeing a surge in tourism. The country has added 800 flights to handle increased visitors, with over 8 million tourists already this year. Punta Cana is a popular destination, but lesser-known areas like Saona Island offer pristine beaches and protected ecosystems. Saona Island, featured in "Pirates of the Caribbean," is accessible only by boat and is known for its untouched beauty and local cuisine.
