During the late 1980s Juan Dolio became one of the first tourist resorts in the country and exclusive destinations for mainly European tourists. Then the business concept of the All-inclusive resort offered by various hotels leads to the explosion of tourism and the construction of a new hotel in the western part of Juan Dolio, Villas Del Mar.
