They will be organizing the trips for the end of November through May 2009. More than 130 flights are expected from the Ontario region and Western Canada while another 100 flights will travel from Quebec and the Atlantic. Of the scheduled flights, 99 are destined for Punta Cana, 71 for Puerta Plata, 12 for La Romana, 10 for Saman\u00e1 and 5 for Santo Domingo. Between January and December 2008, 497,523 Canadian tourists visited the Dominican Republic. Canada is currently our second most important market, after the United States. \u201cTo reinforce this growth, our offices in Montreal and Toronto will continue to promote our country, participating in events directed to the general public and professionals such as to the golf and fishing aficionados as well as those looking for a lovely place for a wedding. We will continue to be involved with the baby-boom demographic, ecotourism and incentive groups so that each of these groups continue to contribute to the growth of our market as a tourist destination,\u201d according to an OPT press release from the Montreal office under its Director Susana Rosa.
