Who we are

We are more than a destination management company — we are event designers, storytellers, and trusted partners. At Dominicana & Partners DMC, our purpose is simple: to elevate every group experience in the Dominican Republic with precision, creativity, and authentic local insight.

About Dominicana

At Dominicana & Partners DMC, we believe every event is an opportunity to create lasting impact. Founded by Patricia Pérez, a Dominican native with a career spanning tourism, luxury hotels, and global event planning, our company was built to bridge world-class standards with the warmth and vibrancy of the Dominican Republic.

Our Core Team

Local industry leaders who played a pivotal role in positioning the Dominican Republic as a premier destination for the meetings and events industry in the U.S. — continues that mission today on our own terms. Together, we specialize in incentive travel, corporate meetings, and luxury events designed to inspire, connect, and deliver measurable results.

The Dominicana Difference

For us, success isn’t measured in numbers alone. Large pax counts don’t always translate into meaningful revenue or responsible tourism. Our mission is personal: to deliver experiences that are impactful, sustainable, and true to the Dominican Republic’s spirit.

This philosophy defines The Dominicana Difference — where creativity sparks originality, attention to detail ensures precision, authenticity adds soul, and sustainability drives purpose. Together, these values elevate every group experience and leave a lasting impression.

Creativity by Design

No two programs should ever be the same. Every experience is tailored to our clients’ goals, their audience, and their brand identity when relevant. From concept to execution, our creativity ensures originality and impact — always mindful of budgets, while never compromising quality.

Attention to Detail

The small details are never small. From seamless logistics to elevated touches that surprise and delight, we manage every step with precision and passion. Known for our quick response times, clear communication, and boutique-level service, we make the complex feel effortless.

Authentic Spirit

As a Dominican and woman-owned DMC, authenticity is at our core. We celebrate the culture, artistry, and warmth of the Dominican Republic — bridging the gap between the all-inclusive and what’s truly local. Every program is infused with soul, creating experiences that feel meaningful and connected.

Sustainable Impact

We design with intention — supporting local communities, empowering artisans, and respecting the environment. For us, sustainability isn’t a trend; it’s a responsibility. Each program leaves a positive footprint while delivering unforgettable experiences.

Creating a lasting impact

Founded by Patricia Pérez, a Dominican native with a career spanning tourism, luxury hotels, and global event planning, Dominicana & Partners DMC was built to bridge world-class standards with the warmth and vibrancy of the Dominican Republic.

Our core team, former leaders in promoting the Dominican Republic abroad, played a key role in positioning the country as a premier destination for the meetings and events industry. Today, we continue that mission on our own terms — refining our clientele, driving sustainable impact, and ensuring every program reflects both responsibility and excellence.

A solid recommendation for Patricia Perez is a no-brainer! She is a DMC powerhouse. Her dedication, creativity, collaborative nature, professionalism, and attention to detail are truly unparalleled. She has an innate ability to manage and orchestrate complex programs with ease. She went above and beyond to ensure that no aspect of our program was overlooked. From the initial planning stages to the execution of the program, she always demonstrated a commitment to excellence. I have no doubt Patricia and her team will continue to exceed expectations and set new standards of excellence in the industry. I have continually recommended her to my peers without any hesitation.

There is no talent that matches Patricia, especially when it comes to the Dominican Republic. She brought me to her country last year as a Travel Director to assist with a very complex program for American Express, and it was amazing to see how beloved and respected she is in her native country, where she tirelessly works for her clients and partners.

I highly recommend Patricia exclusively to all my high-profile clients. She is a master in her own right, not only for her flawless execution of all types of events (exhibitions, conferences, incentives, etc.), but also for her deep understanding of the thought process and interests of the American market.

We just completed our annual VIP conference at Eden Roc Cap Cana, which is a glorious resort, but we wanted to make this a memorable, over-the-top experience, so we hired Dominicana to help us.
We primarily used them to enhance three evening theme parties with décor and entertainment, and they hit it out of the park! Since our resort provides airport transfers, we didn’t need them for that service. However, we did take the group on a catamaran sail and used their services to procure, enhance, and provide logistics for that experience.
Our first evening celebrated Santorini with a Greek theme we called 50 Shades of Blue. Our gala was held in the fine dining restaurant with a Capri theme, and our final night was a beach celebration of Dominican culture, featuring a live show, LED dance floor, DJ, and an activation with face painting — which was very popular. I cannot recommend Dominicana highly enough!

It was a pleasure working with Patricia Perez and Dominicana & Partners DMC on our client’s incentive program to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, in April 2024.
Shasha Reyes-Cruz provided us with very early lead time on our group and was extremely diligent in reaching out for updates and ensuring she had our information in a timely manner. Even when our team couldn’t provide data in an organized way due to flights booked separately, Shasha pulled the details together without complaint and made it easy for us to provide clear updates.
I highly recommend Dominicana & Partners to anyone looking for a creative, energetic, and flexible DMC. Despite their “small” business status, they bring “big” value to programs and true partnership to our agency.

Earlier this year, I almost gave up on the Dominican Republic after a less-than great experience booking the destination for a client. However, my perspective has completely changed, and I’m so glad I participated in the fam trip — it truly transformed my view of the destination.Secrets Tides was a standout highlight. From the moment of arrival, the sense of place set the tone for the entire stay.
Dominicana DMC deserves significant praise for the fam trip itself. They didn’t rely on run-of-the-mill activities but instead offered carefully curated experiences that genuinely inspired me.Their attention to detail and ability to showcase the essence of the Dominican Republic were remarkable. The DR is now officially back on my radar as a top destination, and I’m excited to recommend it with confidence moving forward.
