Actually this is a misleading headline. Nowhere does it state a number. It is simply a corporate announcement about services from a departure point, already serviced by Transat, Sunwing, WestJet and CanJet.

Thomas Cook is simply Skyservice reincarnated after it went bankrupt last spring.

Aside from the small minuscule fluctuations yearly, there should be little to no change.

abc200....they can hardly give the destination away. If you are a rep...aside from the beauty, Samana is the Siberia of postings. Not proving to be too much of a growth market from Canada...I can assure you.

Welcome back Blut...what happened...pond freeze over???

One simple reason. Canadians are trying to escape Canada. A boring place where street cleaning is the only excitement.

Meet a number of Canadians - seems to be popular.
Balcones del Atlantico is among a number of new properties and has a wonderful new restaurant.

The appeal of such resorts to Canadians will grow for the discerning tourist once the travel industry is up to speed.

anthonyc aka Mr. Personality Crisis

"And all the Canadians combined left a $5 RD tip"

How do you get your numbers regarding how much Canadians tip?

Do you stand around DR airports and survey Canadians as to how much they tip?

None of your posts make any sense or add anything of value.

Get a life!
