This was the first year the Dominican Republic hosted the NJT which has been going on, uninterrupted, since 1997. World renowned tennis players such as number two champ, Spain\u2019s Rafael Nadal and Argentina\u2019s Del Potro once played in this tournament.
\n

Last Thursday, prior to the matches, an event to welcome the players included a performance by the Tourism Ministry\u2019s Folkloric Ballet; special guests invited by the Sports Ministry and the President of the Tennis Federation Perio Maldonado. Deputy Tourism Minister, Fausto Fern\u00e1ndez, attended the event representing Tourism Minister Francisco Javier Garc\u00eda.
\n

The Dominican Republic which, in principle, had no players in the tournament, entered Juan Bison\u00f3 in the 14-year-old category thanks to a request from Persio Maldonado to the director of the tournament.
\n

The event represented a boost in tourism promotion in that it brought 400 visitors, among players, judges, organizers and families, to the Dominican Republic.
