Here at the Dominican Republic Sun, we track every flight landing and every hotel foundation being poured. And the numbers for 2026 are officially in.

There Are Now Over 100 All-Inclusive Resorts In Punta Cana As Tourism Surge Continues

While other destinations struggle to find their footing in 2026, the Dominican Republic is breaking all-time tourism records, cementing its status as the undisputed “King of the All-Inclusive.”

Here is the breakdown of the surge and the “Super-Resorts” that are driving this explosive growth.

The Historic Surge

The momentum right now is undeniable. According to the latest travel data, Punta Cana is shattering arrival records, with occupancy rates hovering near 85-90% year-round.

The demand is so high that the region has officially crossed the 100-resort threshold. This gives Punta Cana a density of inventory that rivals any beach destination in the Americas.

This growth stands in stark contrast to the rest of the region. While competitors like Cancun have seen a slight cooling off (dropping roughly 3% in passenger traffic), Punta Cana continues to post double-digit growth. The only other destination seeing similar explosive energy is Los Cabos, but that is a completely different market focused on high-end luxury.

For the mass-market traveler seeking sun, sand, and value, all roads lead to the Dominican Republic.
