The whole country, not one stretch of coast
Most visitors to the Dominican Republic see one strip of coast. The highest mountain in the Caribbean is here, and so is its lowest lake. We work across all of it, which means a single programme can move between colonial city, mountain range, rainforest, river valley and coastline without turning into a transfer marathon.
What we bring
Local access. Years of relationships with communities, cooperatives, host families and small producers across the country mean we can open doors that aren’t on any booking platform.
Run from the destination. Tourimpact is based in the Dominican Republic and coordinates every programme directly, with our own team on the ground.
Specialist guiding. Professional guides matched to the programme, including English-speaking specialists in nature, history and gastronomy.
Product designed, not assembled. We build programmes around your travellers and your brief. When something doesn’t exist yet, we design it.
Impact by design. Local income, cultural preservation and protection of natural areas are built into how the programmes are put together.
How we work
We answer. Every trade enquiry gets a reply from a person within one working day.
One point of contact. From first enquiry through to the end of the trip, you deal with the same person.
Programmes costed at net rates, with inclusions and exclusions set out clearly.
Before departure. We reconfirm every supplier, review weather and sea conditions, and check the operational detail.
On the ground. Activity briefings and equipment checks where the experience requires them.
When something changes. Plans shift, and someone local needs to solve it. That is what we are there for.
Documentation on request. Insurance, supplier documentation and operational checklists.
Cover, recognition and references
Tourimpact works with international specialist tour operators, agencies and travel advisors across Europe, North America and Latin America.
Tourimpact and its founder have been recognised by the Travel & Hospitality Awards (2022) and the Great Companies International Women Entrepreneur Award (2024).

Sample programmes
These are our own programmes, built to show how we think about the destination. Every trip we operate is designed around the client’s brief, dates and group. Use them as a starting point, or send us yours.
Questions from the trade
Do you work with FIT as well as groups?
Both. We handle individual and private arrangements, tailor-made trips for a couple or a family, and groups from small private parties through to scheduled departures. The programme is built around the size and pace of the party, not the other way round.
Can you build a programme to our brief, or do we choose from a catalogue?
To your brief. We design around your travellers, your dates and their interests. The sample programmes above are our own — built to show how we think about the destination. Use one as a starting point, adapt it, or send us something completely different.
Where in the Dominican Republic do you operate?
Across the country: Santo Domingo and the colonial south, the Samaná Peninsula, the East, the North Coast, the Central Highlands and the deep South. A single programme can move between colonial city, mountain range, rainforest, river valley and coastline without turning into a transfer marathon.
What kind of experiences can you include?
Culture and history, walking and nature, gastronomy, wellbeing, community visits, water-based activities, and special-interest or educational travel. When a brief calls for something that doesn’t exist as a product yet, we design it.
How do you work with communities and local suppliers?
Directly. Our guides, drivers, host families, cooperatives and small producers are people we have worked alongside for years and selected ourselves — nobody sits between us and them. That is why we can reach places that don’t appear on booking platforms, and it is also how the income stays local.
Who looks after the trip once it has started?
We do. Our own team is on the ground in Santo Domingo, Samaná and Punta Cana and coordinates the operation directly. You have one point of contact from the first enquiry to the end of the trip, and when something changes, someone local is there to solve it and keep you informed.
How do we start working with you?
Send us the outline: the kind of traveller, a rough idea of dates and group size, and what you want the trip to do. We come back with a costed ground programme at net rates. You don’t need a finished brief to start the conversation.
Tell us what you’re planning
Send us the outline and we’ll come back with a costed ground programme. Dates and group size help, but a rough idea is enough to start.
