NEW YORK, Oct. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Dominican Republic Ministry of Tourism has announced that its vibrant capital city of Santo Domingo will be the subject of a new coffee table book from luxury publisher Assouline as part of its popular Travel Series. The announcement was made during an exclusive press conference in the Archive Room of Assouline's headquarters in New York City attended by Minister of Tourism, David Collado Morales.
"As one of the most modern and dynamic cities in the Caribbean and one that is committed to preserving and celebrating its history, Santo Domingo is a great fit for Assouline's visual storytelling," said Minister Collado. "We are excited for the Assouline team to capture the spirit of Santo Domingo and share its appeal with discerning travelers worldwide."
Santo Domingo, or "La Capital" as it is affectionately called by Dominicans, epitomizes the pulse of Dominican culture, where the old and new converge seamlessly. The city, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1990, is known for its centuries-old architecture and history, thought-provoking art galleries, electric nightlife, and a booming culinary scene. Among the aspects of Santo Domingo that will be covered in Assouline's book are the city's "firsts" - it is the first European settlement in the Americas, and its cathedral is the first in the new world, dating back to the early 1500s.
Assouline's Travel Series invites readers to explore chic and inspiring destinations through rich text and captivating photographs that capture the style and essence of each locale. Some of the world's most fascinating global destinations have graced the pages of Assouline's travel books including Monte Carlo, Capri and Ibiza.
The book is expected to be available for purchase in 2024. More information on Santo Domingo is available here.
