GoDominicanRepublic.com is the official tourism website for the Dominican Republic, the top tourism destination in the Caribbean, which A+S Ideas Studio, Inc. designed, developed and maintains. The current version of the website, launched in May 2018, is actually the third website A+S has created for Mitur since 2010. The result of a very successful government/private partnership, the website plays a crucial role in supporting the country’s main industry across the world. Fully available in seven languages (English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian and Russian), GoDominicanRepublic.com provides valuable content and constantly updated information to tourists from every corner of the world, on every device (over 60 percent of users visit the highly responsive website on their mobile devices). In 2019 alone, more than 1.2 million users have visited the website, a number that will likely exceed 1.5 million by the end if the year. The website’s reach is such that its delivery is optimized globally through the Akamai content delivery network (CDN).

“It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Mitur and BVK over all these years. We greatly value the trust they have placed in us to create the Dominican Republic’s online presence, and we’re very proud of its role in communicating everything the country has to offer to visitors far and wide,” said Andrés Fernández, Partner and Chief Strategy Officer at A+S Ideas Studio, who spearheads this project. Sarimá Gracia, Founder and Chief Creative Officer, adds: “Mitur and BVK truly are dream clients: they trust us to do what we do best, while demanding nothing short of excellence. The website’s growing traffic and user engagement are the most meaningful measurable indicators of its success. But the creative awards put a smile on all of our faces, as recognition among our industry peers that this work is getting noticed, for the right reasons.” Gracia adds: “We also want to congratulate our partners at BVK for the additional awards they’ve received for the experiential “POPFUNHOUSE” activation they did for the Puerto Plata destination, which was a huge success in the various US cities it took place.”
