Santo Domingo.- The tourism industry in the Dominican Republic reported revenues of 5.6 million dollars during the 2007-2008 cruise season.

Some 70,000 cruise travelers, 38 percent of whom came from Latin America, visited this city.

European travelers accounted for 33 percent, compared to 27 percent of US tourists and nearly 2 percent from other countries.

According to estimates from the Florida Caribbean Cruise Association (FCCA), which monitors major issues in the cruise industry, each tourist visiting Santo Domingo spends about 80 dollars in goods and services.

Experts estimated that some 82,000 travelers would visit the country during the upcoming cruise season that begins in October, when 40 ships are expected to dock in the Dominican Republic.

DR is setting up. We just need more accountability, more social programs, money distribution, education, healthcare, and career opportunities. Social programs need to be address by LF from 2008-2012. I know DR is trying to reach the millennium goals set up by the UN by 2015. Lots of $$$$$$$ we be sent to DR if that happens and LF legacy and leadership would be displayed to the world. Let's keep fighting to get there!

Goulet, you need to be corrected, that should read ¨school for the deaf¨. and i do not drink ¨a couple shots¨; it is more like the entire bottle, and then some.
