Tourists from the city of New York, who are visiting the Mango Fair for the first time and were interviewed by DUM cameras, stated that this is more than a gastronomic experience, it is a cultural and agricultural experience that pays homage to the mango, one of the most emblematic fruits of the country, but that at the same time shows them the identity of Dominicans up close.
