Art/Literary - Advertising / Public Relations / campaing slogan
Spanish term or phrase: Republica Dominicana....inagotable!
I'd very much appreciate help from anyone. Needless to say, it´s not 'Republica Dominicana' the term I'm having trouble with, but also the purpose of the term since this an advertising slogan.

agree  Jennifer Levey: yes, and it fits well in the ad we see 30 times a day on CNN

  -> thank you mediamatrix!
neutral  Marcelo González: "inexhaustible" might remind people of another word, i.e., exhausted, which might not be the effect the advertising campaign is seeking. I've never heard "inexhaustible" being used in the context of marketing. Regards, Marga!
14 mins
  -> Thanks! but I don't agree that the word "inexhaustible" would remind people of exactly the opposite word... Especially as the prefix IN means precisely NOT. In Marketing, there's not a limit of words to use. It seeks surprising people.

infinite/boundless (beauty)


Explanation:
Another option might be "limitless/the sky's the limit" :-)

boundless (bound´lîs) adjective
Being without boundaries or limits; infinite. See synonyms at infinite.

República Dominicana... ¡inagotable! = the Dominican Republic...(boundless) never-ending beauty

Having lived there for three years, I'd be inclined to say it. :-)

vast and enchanting


Explanation:
O "surprisingly vast"...

La idea es que una traducción literal siempre se va a quedar corta... y entramos a un terreno subjetivo de traducción libre que se asemeja mucho a la redacción de textos publicitarios, o "copywriting"
