Meet Miches, The Punta Cana Alternative Shaking Up Travel To The Dominican Republic
Playa Esmeralda in Miches, Dominican Republic. getty The Dominican Republic didn't invent the all-inclusive vacation, but it certainly perfected it. Springing from the soft white sands of Bávaro Beach in Punta Cana, lines of oversized all-inclusive resorts have long shaped the conversation when it comes to Caribbean travel, making the Dominican Republic the most visited Caribbean island nation—by far. Now, a newer coastal enclave in the Dominican Republic is drawing visitors to a number of brand new all-inclusive resorts debuting this year: Miches. Just a few years ago, Miches was little more than a small beachfront town located a short drive north of Punta Cana on the island's picturesque Samaná Bay. Suddenly, it's the destination on everyone's mind. With Zemi Miches Punta Cana All-Inclusive Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton debuting earlier this summer, Miches feels poised to be the next place to be in the Caribbean. Locals and a new generation of all-inclusive travelers alike are left wondering whether Miches is the next Punta Cana. Or, perhaps, its antithesis. Playa Esmeralda in Miches, Dominican Republic. Zemi Miches Punta Cana All-Inclusive Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton Located on the far eastern coast of the island, Punta Cana is the hub of tourism in the Dominican Republic, a Caribbean mecca for resort vacations home to the second busiest airport in the entire region. With Punta Cana's convenience and relative affordability comes commercialization at one of the largest scales in the Caribbean. Here, there is nary a sliver of beach that doesn't have an oversized resort or pulsing beach bar occupying its sands. Meanwhile, Miches feels worlds away, still raw, real tropical paradise that feels straight out of a postcard. Touching down in Punta Cana and heading just and hour and a half north, travelers are soon greeted with soaring mountains coated in lush greenery that kiss the Caribbean Sea. Miches' stunning Playa Esmeralda. Zemi Miches Punta Cana All-Inclusive Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton Miches is nestled among untouched tropical forest, not far from mythical destination like Los Haitises National Park, where indigenous tribes once gathered and left cave paintings behind. In the cooler winter months, humpback whales travel to the protected waters near Miches to give birth to and nourish their young. 'Miches sits along the shores of a largely protected cove, giving its calm, clear waters. They also happen to be totally free from the sargassum seaweed that has become an increasingly impossible problem across much of the rest of the Caribbean,' said Manuela Fahringer, General Manager of Zemi Miches Punta Cana All-Inclusive Resort, in an interview. An aerial view of the new Zemi Miches Punta Cana All-Inclusive Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton. Zemi Miches Punta Cana All-Inclusive Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton The Punta Cana Precedent Amidst the excitement of a flurry of new resorts debuting in Miches, many wonder if we're witnessing the birth of the next Punta Cana. It's a fair question; at the start of the year, Viva Miches by Wyndham, A Trademark All Inclusive Resort opened its doors, and on June 30th, Hilton's Zemi Miches property, its first all-inclusive Curio Collection resort, follow suit from its location along 800 meteres of coastline. Later this year, Hyatt will touch down in Miches, too. Secrets Playa Esmeralda Resort & Spa and Dream Playa Esmeralda Resort & Spa are set to debut, side-by-side adults-only and family-friendly resorts from the Hyatt Inclusive Collection. When taken together, it's a significant amount of development for a destination that lacked even a main road connecting it to Punta Cana until just ten years ago. To compare Miches to Punta Cana feels even more unavoidable considering that much of the investment in Miches comes from Grupo Puntacana. A Dominican business conglomerate with a sustainable tourism focus, Grupo Puntacana helped turn Punta Cana into what it is today, and continues to play a significant role in the destination and its management. Frank Elías Rainieri, CEO of Grupo Puntacana and the son of one of Grupo Puntacana's founders, Frank Rainieri, spearheaded the new Zemi Miches property from start to finish. Taking in the view from the brand new Zemi Miches property. Zemi Miches Punta Cana All-Inclusive Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton All Its Own Even with all the development, Miches still hasn't changed all that much. That's just what makes it so attractive in the first place. "Miches benefits from being just a 90-minute drive from Punta Cana's well-served international airport, but it feels totally untouched and unbothered, and that's a huge part of why travelers come here in the first place," says Fahringer. "They want that escape from the Punta Cana that many of them already know well.' Erika Sordo, Corporate Director of Marketing & Publications at Viva Resorts by Wyndham, echoes the same sentiment. "[Viva Miches by Wyndham] was thoughtfully designed to showcase the area's untouched natural beauty," she says. It's not just an extension of Punta Cana, it's something unique, "offering ocean-front, diverse dining, and memorable experiences for every type of traveler," and that's what makes it so special. Wyndham's Viva Miches property. Viva Miches by Wyndham, A Trademark All Inclusive All New All-Inclusive To position this new destination as something all its own aligns with the shifting priorities of the modern-day all-inclusive traveler. At a time when all-inclusive travel is trending in a big way, this new generation of travelers aren't looking for a cookie-cutter experience; they're seeking something special. At the heart of the new all-inclusive experience is 'a growing desire to feel immersed in a new destination, rather than removed from it,' said Nicole Tilzer, Vice president of Hilton's All-Inclusive & Resort Strategy, in an interview last year. With an enhanced focus on activities and excursions that make the most of the rich coastal and mountainous landscapes surrounding the resort, plus an exciting, first-of-its-kind indigenous Dominican Taino cuisine-focused restaurant, Zemi Miches is out to do just that, and much more. "Travelers want to feel like they're part of something special that they can't find elsewhere, and that's what they'll get here," says Fahringer. Playa Esmeralda near Miches, Dominican Republic. getty Sustainable Solutions As the destinations grows, Miches is built on a foundation of lessons learned from its neighbor. That means making an effort to focus on sustainable and ethical development, right from the start. "We've been intimately involved with local associations like ProMiches and ProTortuga to support sustainable growth locally as Miches continues to grow, explains Fahringer. These Dominican-led organizations support everything from promoting local small businesses to protecting the fragile coastal ecosystem and supporting turtle nesting sites along beaches. With more development expected soon, including a Four Seasons property with plans to open its doors in 2026, the future of Miches continues to look bright. With the history of Punta Cana's successes, and excesses, as a foundation, Miches charts an impressive course entirely its own.

The 1 Thing You Should Never Touch After You've Been In A Hotel Lobby
When you enter a hotel lobby, you're probably focused on checking into your hotel room, juggling all of your luggage and finding the elevators to your floor. But one thing you're likely not thinking about: all the contaminated surfaces you've touched before you even get to your room. 'Think of hotel lobbies the same way as hospital waiting rooms,' said Jason Tetro, a microbiologist and author of 'The Germ Code.' 'They are filled with people who are passing time … [and are] the perfect place for germs to spread.' In fact, a recent study looked at contaminated surfaces and the infection risk in common hotel lobby areas, including the check-in counter, elevator, lounge and bar, office spaces, gym and restroom. 'This study showed that just a couple of heavily used surfaces … can quickly spread germs around a hotel lobby,' said Dr. Kelly Reynolds, an environmental scientist at the University of Arizona's College of Public Health and researcher for the study. 'Because so many people touch the same spots, germs can jump from hand to hand, to face, and even to food.' We talked to experts about which hotel lobby surfaces are the germiest, types of viruses and bacteria that may be lurking, and how likely you are to get sick — plus what precautions you can take to avoid picking up a bug. So what are the germiest spots in a hotel lobby? 'The lobby is filled with all sorts of great hiding spots for germs, but to find the most germs, you need to look … at high-touch environmental surfaces,' Tetro explained. So what is the most-touched site in the hotel lobby? The study found that the elevator button received about a third of all touches, Reynolds said. Elevator buttons are 'a central hub, serving as a super-spreader site … [because they connect] people to other parts of the lobby and [spread] germs easily,' she added. The front desk counter ranked second for the most touches, followed by tabletops, bar tops and buffet countertops in food service areas. 'Because people tend to touch their mouths while eating, germs could easily travel from hands to food,' Reynolds said. Entry door handles, such as from the parking garage into the lobby, are considered risky because germs can enter from the outside. 'Our study actually placed a harmless virus there to track how far it could travel, and it spread widely, impacting about half of all targeted surfaces,' she said. Even though bathroom door handles weren't touched as much as other areas, Reynolds noted they are still important to be aware of. 'People using the bathroom might not wash their hands well, which can spread harmful fecal bacteria,' Reynolds said. Lastly, surfaces that are difficult to clean properly were also contaminated, like upholstered chairs in the lobby. 'Upholstered furniture is often overlooked during cleaning, and even when cleaned, [it] can be difficult to remove germs given the porous, protective nature of woven fabrics,' she pointed out. What kind of germs are lurking in the hotel lobby? 'In any area, you're going to see viruses that cause respiratory infections because people are coughing, wiping their nose with their hands, and touching things,' said Dr. Shira Doron, chief infection control officer for Tufts Medicine and hospital epidemiologist at Tufts Medical Center. Think bugs like flu, RSV, COVID and the common cold. Related: Bacteria that cause food poisoning (such as salmonella and campylobacter) are more likely to be found in the food service areas or bathroom, she explained. Other gastrointestinal pathogens, like norovirus (commonly referred to as a 'stomach bug'), are also more likely to be lurking in the bathroom. 'If you were to swab and culture … [hotel lobby] surfaces, you would [also] certainly find skin microbes such as Staphylococcus,' Tetro added. This bacteria can cause staph infections that appear as skin boils. But if it enters deeper into your body, like in the bones, joints, bloodstream, heart or lungs, it can lead to severe or life-threatening illness, according to the Mayo Clinic. But how likely are you to get sick? Well, it depends on many factors, such as the type of germ, the hotel's cleaning protocols and your immune system. First of all, to actually get infected, there has to be a high enough amount of the bacteria or virus, which is called the 'minimal infective dose.' For example, 'the amount you need to get sick [from norovirus] is one … E. coli is like 100,000 … flu is about 1,000 and COVID [or a] cold is about 50,' Tetro explained. The hotel's cleaning procedures for the lobby also matter. The study showed that 'using effective disinfectants on high-touch surfaces can reduce infection risk by over 97%,' Reynolds said. Even if you do pick up germs, your immune system may be able to fight them off before you get sick. 'Regular exercise, good sleep, nutritious food [and] stress management' are key for maintaining a healthy immune system, Doron explained. 'People with compromised immune systems, from disease or medications, are [also] at higher risk of becoming sick after being exposed to pathogens.' What can you do to avoid getting sick? 'When I'm in a hotel lobby, I might touch a lot of surfaces … [like] the credit card machine and elevator buttons, but I'm very careful not to touch my face without washing my hands,' Doron said. 'So I consider my risk to be very low.' Tetro recommended bringing a bottle of hand sanitizer with you everywhere. Make sure it contains 62-70% of ethanol, and use enough for your hands to feel wet for about 20 seconds as you're rubbing it in, he advised. Washing your hands with soap and water is also effective, as long as you're doing it properly. You want to make sure you're scrubbing for about 15 seconds to create enough friction, Doron said. 'A lot of people… will forget [to scrub] their fingertips, and that's actually the first thing that contacts surfaces,' she added. 'So, you don't want to miss that … [and] between the fingers.' It's also important to remember to moisturize your hands regularly, especially when you're doing a lot of handwashing, she said. It 'counteract[s] the drying effects of hand hygiene products,' she explained. 'But [also] … having healthy, intact skin is important [to prevent] picking up infections.' The bottom line: Even if you've touched an elevator button that hundreds of people have pressed before you, taking less than a minute to properly wash or sanitize your hands after can make all the difference.

Hotel Manager Aimbridge to Expand Into All-Inclusives After $1.1 Billion Restructuring
Aimbridge Hospitality, the world's largest third-party hotel management company, said this week it would establish a new division in Miami to manage all-inclusive resorts, an effort to get back to growth after a financial restructuring that cleared out more than $1 billion in debt. "We may have lost our way for a little while," said Aimbridge CEO Craig S. Smith, who joined last year to lead the turnaround. Aimbridge targets a huge market. Major hotel groups such as Marriott and Hilton have largely exited direct hotel management in favor of franchising. Aimbridge had been on a growth tear, mostly through acquisitions, yet the pandemic's disruptions made it harder to service its debt. Smith, who spent 35 yea
