DR’s Dominican Fiesta Hotel Helps U.S. Earthquake Survivors

The Dominican Fiesta Hotel, part of the Fiesta Hotel Group and located in the capital of Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, is providing rooms, food and lodging to volunteers who are helping earthquake survivors of American citizenship return to U.S. territory.

The hotel has played a major role in the early hours of the disaster. In order to aid the U.S. Embassy in evacuating American citizens residing in Haiti, the hotel provided two of its conference rooms with coffee, milk, water and other supplies for more than two weeks as a team of volunteers hosted between 60 and 100 American citizens each day that were formerly residing in Haiti.

These citizens were registered by the Embassy’s travel agency and evacuated to U.S. territory. In addition, on the same day as the earthquake, representatives of the Hotel Dominican Fiesta visited the United Nations offices and confirmed an agreement which provided two courtesy conference rooms for use in any rescue operation.
