T<\/SPAN>he Dominican Office of Tourism Promotion (OPT in Spanish) in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean Plaza shopping center held the Dominican Republic Expo 2009 at the the largest shopping center in the southern region of Puerto Rico. <\/P> The event was opened with a musical presentation by the Dominican group \u201cStereophonics\u201d whose members are Fell\u00e9 Vega, Edgar Molina and Cantante, Alfio Lora and Antonio Gonz\u00e1lez. <\/P> Every year, during the two weeks prior to Mother\u2019s Day which is one of the busiest shopping periods at the Caribbean Plaza, the thematic exhibition is held to the delight of its many visitors. “Three years ago, we had the Dominican Republic as the guest of honor and it was such a success that we decided to invite them again this year. On this occasion the exhibitions were concentrated in tourism and cultural attractions offered by the DR\u2019s cosmopolitan city of Santo Domingo,\u201d said Susana Santiago, Market Manager of the Caribbean Plaza. <\/P> \u201cIt is an honor for the Dominican Tourism Ministry that Puerto Rico has extended the invitation to share in this event and to show off the treasures of our capital with inhabitants of Ponce as well as residents of the country\u2019s southern region. Through this exhibition we attempted to awaken an interest among people to get to know, in person, the historic wealth of our monuments, music, the variety of Dominican artwork as well as the many alternative hotels offered in the First City of America,\u201d said Cosette Garcia, Director of the OPT. <\/P> In addition to replicas of important historical structures in the Dominican capital, visitors enjoyed Dominican art and folklore seminars, musical presentations, artisan workshops, contests, presentations on tourism and food stands including a typical Dominican coffee shop that was open each afternoon. There were also many surprises for the Expo visitors. <\/P> The event was opened with a musical presentation by the Dominican group \u201cStereophonics\u201d whose members are Fell\u00e9 Vega, Edgar Molina and Cantante, Alfio Lora and Antonio Gonz\u00e1lez. <\/P> <\/P><\/TD><\/TR> OPT of Puerto Rico Holds the Dominican Republic Expo 2009 The Dominican Office of Tourism Promotion (OPT in Spanish) in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean Plaza shopping center held the Dominican Republic Expo 2009 at the the largest shopping center in the southern region of Puerto Rico.
