Women in Tourism – Ministry of Tourism of the Dominican Republic

Centre Stage aims to advance women’s empowerment within the tourism sector, with the involvement of public institutions, diverse tourism businesses and the active support of civil society. This UN Tourism programme was implemented in the Dominican Republic in 2022 in close cooperation with the Ministry of Tourism (MITUR) through strategic actions that included technical trainings, collection of sex-disaggregated data and the strengthening of corporate policies. The data mentioned by MITUR in this video has been obtained by the following sources: National Statistics Office ENHOGAR 2015 (National Survey of Multiple Purpose Households through the special module on higher education); Dominican Republic Central Bank (Statistics about the labour market during the 2019 fourth quarter); Dominican Republic Constitution (Art. 62.9 on the right to work and conferring constitutional status to equal pay).
