Realize Your Hotel Dream in the Dominican Republic
Make it a reality
Are you dreaming of creating your own ecolodge in the Dominican Republic, taking advantage of the Confotur Law? You're not alone!
I'm François, an expert in Confotur tourism project development, and I'm a hotel entrepreneur myself. On the Casablanca property in Miches, I'm currently building my own project, Talipot Ecolodge, a charming ecolodge that perfectly illustrates the potential of this law.
With my 15 years of experience in the Dominican Republic and my personal experience on the ground, I offer you customized support, from conception to realization, to transform your dream into reality.
The Confotur Law: Your Stepping Stone to Success
The Confotur Law is a tax incentive established by the Dominican government to encourage investment in the tourism sector. It offers significant benefits, such as:
Income tax exemption for 10 to 15 years
VAT (ITBIS) exemption on goods and services necessary for the construction and equipping of the project
Exemption from customs duties on the import of certain goods
Real Estate Transfer Tax Exemption 3%
But be careful, the Confotur Law can be complex. It's essential to have good support to fully exploit the benefits and avoid pitfalls.
Customized Support, Based on Experience
I offer you personalized support at every stage of your project, drawing on my expertise and network of partners:
Mastery of all aspects of the Confotur process: from the application for approval to project management.
In-depth knowledge of the Dominican tourism market and the specificities of Miches.
Network of local and international partners: lawyers, tax specialists, architects, builders, marketing experts, etc.
Expertise in sustainable development and eco-construction, to create a project that respects the environment and is integrated into the local community.
What sets me apart from other consultants is that I am a hotel entrepreneur myself.
I know the challenges and opportunities of this type of project, and I can offer you concrete advice tailored to your situation. I'll be at your side from beginning to end so you can realize your dream.
Talipot Ecolodge: My Project, Your Source of Inspiration
Talipot Ecolodge is my personal project, a charming ecolodge located on the Casablanca property in Miches. It consists of a villa, 9 luxury bungalows, offering stunning views of the ocean and the mountains, and a restaurant.
Talipot Ecolodge is a sustainable and responsible project, which integrates the principles of eco-construction and contributes to the economic and social development of the region.
I can speak to you transparently about the difficulties I have encountered (land selection, obtaining permits, construction, financing, etc.), the solutions I have put in place, and the results I have achieved. Talipot Ecolodge is proof that you can create a profitable and environmentally friendly hotel project in the Dominican Republic. I can let you benefit from my mistakes and my successes.
