Welcome to the Puerto Plata Duty Free Industrial Zone
Tax free industrial parks in the Dominican Republic have for the last thirty years been providing hundreds of global manufacturers with a strategic location in the center of the Caribbean, tax incentives and other cost-competitive advantages for manufacturing, assembly lines and communication centers. The Dominican Republic in turn draws benefit from the number of jobs these manufacturers create
Puerto Plata city is situated on the Atlantic northern coast making this an ideal location for shipping and air access to key American and European markets. The city itself has an excellent infrastructure of roads, an international airport with daily short-hop travel connections and an international freight harbor less than four kilometers from the park itself.
As one of the Caribbean's most popular travel destinations, Puerto Plata hosts a large community of foreign residents, along with the corresponding restaurants, activities, private schools, modern shopping centers and excellent private hospitals. Thus Puerto Plata provides a cosmopolitan quality of life, made all that more agreeable by the genuine congeniality and friendliness that Dominicans are famous for.
