Santo Domingo's modern Acropolis business district hosts Britain's embassy to Dominican Republic where Caribbean tourism meets growing British investment and regional diplomatic reach extending to Haiti. The mission serves Britain's interests across two nations from single post managing Dominican Republic's booming tourism sector attracting tens of thousands of British visitors annually to Punta Cana's all-inclusive resorts, Puerto Plata's beaches, and Santo Domingo's colonial Old City UNESCO heritage site. British expatriates run businesses in hospitality industry, teach English in language schools, and retire to Caribbean lifestyle drawn by affordable property and tropical climate. UK companies invest in renewable energy projects supporting Dominican Republic's development goals, participate in telecommunications sector, and engage in trade relationships. The embassy provides extensive consular services for British tourists facing emergencies including medical evacuations, support during hurricanes hitting Caribbean region, assistance with passport issues, and help for victims of crime in tourist areas. Staff coordinate security cooperation addressing drug trafficking routes through Caribbean corridor, facilitate educational partnerships with Dominican universities, and support British business interests navigating local regulations. The mission's Haiti portfolio requires managing complex humanitarian challenges, supporting vulnerable British nationals in Port-au-Prince during political instability, and coordinating UK development assistance addressing poverty and governance challenges in western hemisphere's poorest nation.
