Sales to Central America, South America and the Caribbean Islands reached 2,56 million euros between January and April, representing an increase of 26,7% compared to the same period last year.
To capitalize on this growth and consolidate its presence in the region, the Ministry of Business, Employment and Social Economy, through the Development Institute of the Region of Murcia (Info), has organized a trade mission to the Dominican RepublicThe delegation, comprised of eight companies from the furniture, upholstery, and bedding sectors, began its work schedule today, which will run until July 20.
The Contract Channel offers a wide range of business opportunities, focusing on comprehensive design, equipment, and decoration solutions for various spaces. In the Dominican hotel sector, quarterly investment is in the millions, underscoring the potential of this market for Murcia-based companies.
Joaquin Gomez, director of Info, highlighted the appeal of this channel for regional companies, which demand "tailored solutions and high-quality products." Gómez emphasized the importance of the knowledge and experience accumulated by the regional government over years of work in the Contract Plan, in collaboration with prescribers, architects, interior designers and project managersAccording to Gómez, this experience is key for companies in the Region of Murcia to strengthen their position in markets with such high potential.
During this intense week of work, Murcia companies will have the opportunity to establish direct contact with key decision-makers in equipment projects for resorts, hotels, and corporate shop and luxury residential developments. Technical visits will be made, qualified contacts will be maintained, and bilateral meetings will be held with the aim of closing trade agreements in a constantly expanding area.
