Punta Cana earns top tourism and marketing honors

Grupo Puntacana was recognized at the 2026 Cannes Dominicana awards, where its chief marketing officer Manuel Sajour received the Person of the Year prize and young professionals Stephanie Rodríguez and Rolando Devers won silver in the Young Marketers category. The competition required participants to devise rapid, strategic campaigns addressing social issues such as violence and corruption.

Separately, Tortuga Bay Puntacana, the luxury hotel within Puntacana Resort, was granted Condé Nast Traveler’s Triple Crown distinction, signifying inclusion on the publication’s Hot List, Gold List and Readers’ Choice Awards. The award highlights the resort’s recent interior redesign, its heritage as the sole hotel originally envisioned by Dominican designer Oscar de la Renta, and its status as a benchmark for Caribbean luxury hospitality.
