Keep those tourist coming, and the money they bring with them!
Let's also spend money on infrastructure and beautification and safety, so those tourist will leave their compounds to mingle in town and help local economy.
Win/Win situation-the way I see it.
Some tourists are too dumb and should not leave the resort areas not just in DR but in any part of the world. They are the ones that you see changing dollars/euros for pesos from a guy on the street. Too many scam artists in DR/everywhere.
But yes bring the tourist in
