Constanza’s Spring Fair with Environmental Film Screenings

The DR Environmental Film Festival (DREFF), an initiative of Global Foundation for Democracy and Development (GFDD) and Fundación Global Democracia y Desarrollo (FUNGLODE), has joined forces with Constanza’s Ecoturism Cluster in celebrating the First Annual Spring Fair 2013.

In its first year, the Spring Fair will be held from April 26-29, 2013 at the Club Japones in Constanza, and
will provide an opportunity for companies, institutions and individuals to sample local products and participate in workshops, exhibitions, conferences, and live-performances, which are aimed at promoting local sustainable tourism options that help conserve the natural resources of this world class destination.

The program will also include 5 documentary film screenings, courtesy of the DR Environmental Film Festival (DREFF), which specifically address key environmental
problems faced in the area and show examples of best practices that can be applied in the areas of soil conservation, sustainable agriculture, solid waste management and economic localization.

The screenings, which are free of charge and open to the public, will take place in the main conference room of Club Japones, from April 27- April 29.

The Spring Fair is sponsored by USAID’s Empowerment in Sustainable Tourism
Program and implemented locally by the Dominican Tourism Competitiveness Consortium, with support from the Ministry of Tourism, Municipality of Constanza, La Vega Senators office, and its Municipal Districts.
