Fernando Hazoury has been recognized as “Tourism Entrepreneur of the Year” at the 2026 National Tourism Awards, honoring a career defined by vision, leadership, and a lasting contribution to the growth of tourism in the Dominican Republic.
In accepting the award, Hazoury shared the recognition with the entire Hazoury Toral family, paying special tribute to his brother Ricardo, whose vision helped shape the dream that would become Cap Cana. He also dedicated the achievement to the people who have helped build and sustain the destination city through the years, describing them as an essential part of the Cap Cana family.
More than a personal distinction, the award celebrates a legacy built on Dominican investment, job creation, economic development, and the ambition to create a world-class destination with a distinctly local identity.
For Cap Cana, the honor is a powerful acknowledgment of a vision that continues to grow, evolve, and help shape the future of tourism in the country.
