ROI Meets Lifestyle: Why North Americans Are Buying Now

Punta Cana continues to attract Canadians and Americans looking for:

• Diversification outside domestic markets


• Lower entry price points


• Strong tourism fundamentals


• Year-round sunshine

Poseidonia by Aston fits neatly into that thesis.
The numbers back it up. The Dominican Republic received 11.2 million visitors in 2024 — a 48% increase since 2019 — and ranks as the top Caribbean tourist destination. Punta Cana Airport handled ~5 million of those arrivals, about 59% of the country's air traffic. The U.S. accounted for 46% of tourists and Canada for 19%, so North American demand is already embedded in the market.
Compared to Miami or Toronto, entry pricing in CONFOTUR-approved projects remains highly accessible, while hotel occupancy in the DR averages 80–82% and vacation rentals can deliver 5–10% annual returns after expenses (with some projects citing higher cash-on-cash potential). CONFOTUR adds real upside: exemption from the 3% transfer tax at purchase and from the 1% annual property tax for 10–15 years on approved tourism projects. It's not speculation — it's positioning in a growing international destination with tax incentives and proven demand.
Remax Paradise DR works with North American buyers every day on Punta Cana and Cana Bay — including Poseidonia by Aston. We can break down entry levels, CONFOTUR eligibility, and how the numbers compare to your home market.
