It's touristic industry includes the Dorado Beach Resort[?] and the El Cerromar Hotel[?], as well as Dorado Airport, a small airport that used to be served by Dorado Wings[?].

Dorado has been voted Puerto Rico's cleanest town various times.
Recently, a controversy surrounding Dorado Airport has raised. Dorado's mayor wants to build into it, so that it can become a jet-port and future alternative to Luis Munoz Marin International Airport in San Juan for airlines, as well as to Isla Grande Airport, also in San Juan, for private aviation.
