New Dominican Tourism Chief Vows to Follow in Predecessor’s Footsteps

Upon arriving in the post as the new Minister of Tourism, Francisco Javier Garcia said he’s “not going to work over the ashes of others, and instead on the basis of their effort” and that he’s obliged to surpass his predecessor Felix Jimenez’s work even in only by half a point.

He said he’s not replacing just any official, and for that reason will continue with the work and projects Jimenez carried out. He said he’ll place great effort in his function, convinced of the weight tourism bears on the economy.

In an atmosphere of camaraderie in the entity, outgoing Tourism minister Felix Jimenez spoke of the accomplishments during his tenure and said he’s confident of the work his successor is going to materialize.
