Explanation:
Me parece que una traducción literal funciona aquí. La expresión se usa en inglés como verás en los siguientes ejemplos. Podrías decir ... has decided to bet on the future of Dominican Tourism/Tourism to the Dominican Republic.... or xxx are betting on the future of tourism or .... have decided to place serious bets on... or are placing serious bets on....

If you still don't like the idea/sound of bet then count on might be an option. Ex. . . . are counting on future tourism or are counting on the future of tourism etc. etc.

(seriously) gambles on


Explanation:
I don't see anything wrong with the literal translation here:

"... has decided to take a serious gamble on the future of tourism on the Dominican Republic..."

or maybe : "... has decided to take a gamble big-time on the future of tourism on the Dominican Republic..."

One often reads of companies referred to as "gambling on the future" of such-and-such.
