Noooooooooooooooo the frenchies are coming, americans and french are probably the worst tourist, the only good thing about americans is that they blow money, but frechies jeez they're never happy and nothing is ever enough.

Not that we would want to stereotype another nationality like they do to us!

Like all successful Dominicans in New York or Miami are in the drug business, eh Hi Hater!

Have you ever worked in the service industry???

While in college I worked for a year as a waitor in Manhattan and they are never satisfied. I am going based upon what I experienced and what I have heard, anecdotal. I don't believe there are too many published reports on the pickiness of a group of people

Also I am not being derogatory, I think calling a group of people drug dealers is such, I think calling a group picky is not. Yet perhaps your use of the english vocabulary is different from mine?

HiHater, while i must agree that SOME Americans make the most loathsome tourists, isn't "blowing money" the whole idea behind tourism? or do you prefer polite guys who come in on ThompsonFly and spend 100 dollars in a whole week?

Dread I at least wrote that the Americans do blow money, that's a good thing!!!

I never criticized that, they just think that the country is their play ground and that the locals are dumb etc etc, and that the women will do anything. Trust me I talk with americans all the time, the first thing.... "mad prostitutes down there yo,

HiHater, you are on the money. and, sadly, some of the women they refer to as "bitches" would not give them the time of day if they were in America!

Down here, the women believe them when they say they're MDs.

Back home, the ho's know more about anatomy than those "doctors".

This was my favorite line of the article:
"Eiffel Tower’s institutional quarter, aimed at promoting visits to the destination Dominican Republic and STIMULATING the tourists whom prefer it over others."

Leave it to your imagination with some of the tourists that visit DR regularly!!!
