Why operators care
Cap Cana now contributes a disproportionate share of new luxury room supply in the country — CBRE attributes most of DR's +18% inventory growth in 2024–2025 to Cap Cana and Bávaro. Average daily rates at Cap Cana 5★ properties run 25–45% above the national 5★ average, driving a higher per-visitor FX yield than the all-inclusive corridor in Bávaro.
