Media & International Partnerships
Oskar Blum
Originally from Germany, Oskar gained several years of experience in the German and European tourism industry, playing a key role in building some of the largest and most established tourism platforms in the German-speaking market. After developing a strong connection to the Dominican Republic, Oskar started the project 'The Dominican Experience' in early 2026.
Today, he focuses on shaping the platform's media presence and expanding its international partnerships, connecting global audiences and brands with opportunities in the Dominican Republic.
Beyond the island's beautiful beaches, his favorite place is the quiet and untouched nature of the mountains in the DR.
