\u201cThis proposal has garnered lots of enthusiasm on the part of the Puerto Rico authorities\u2026the event will be unique in their history,\u201d said Cosette Garc\u00eda, Director of the OPT.
\n

In a SECTUR press and communications release, Garc\u00eda said the Brugal liquor company has asked the OPT to organize the logistics and design of the event, to be celebrated Sunday July 27 in the Hiran Bithron Stadium in the capital San Juan.
\n

Well-known Dominican musicians are expected to participate in the festival such as Los Rosario and Milly Quesada. In addition there will be an exhibition on the part of the Creole artisans as well as a variety of hotel companies from the Dominican Republic.
\n

“This will represent a great promotional opportunity for our country in the Puerto Rican market,\u201d emphasized Garc\u00eda.
\n

Garcia added that the OPT will be presenting one-minute informative spots to television viewers every Sunday at 6:00 in the evening on Univision PR Channel 7 for a period of four consecutive months, \u201cas a result of the mini publicity campaign we are pushing with the hotels of Bah\u00eda Pr\u00edncipe in Puerto Rico”.
