Santo Domingo.- Direct Air announced Thursday that it will fly from Palm Beach International Airport to Puerto Rico and Punta Cana, a resort in Dominican Republic’s east coast.

The Myrtle Beach, S.C.-based carrier said nonstop flights on Boeing 737 jets to San Juan and Punta Cana will begin Dec. 16. Direct Air announced last month that beginning in November, it will fly from PBIA to Worcester, Mass.; Niagara Falls, N.Y.; Kalamazoo, Mich.; and Rockford, Ill.

The carrier said it will offer twice weekly flights the popular Caribbean destinations from Palm Beach. “We have embraced Palm Beach County as our window on the Atlantic,” Direct Air president Ed Warneck said at a news conference at the airport.

Superb!

Palm Beach residents will be snapping up superb property deals in DR and investing in the country bringing their upscale businesses and amazing restuaurants! Wouldn't it be incredible if they brought some of their horses to the DR for Polo matches!

hep a & b vaccinations are easy, quick and effective. And the others.
many good investments here.
I invested 5 years ago without the slightest hitch.
If the plan is to invest a large sum use title insurance as with other countries.
The deals are so stupendous and unique with outstanding business opportunites......
Prices are a third of those in Clearwater, Palm Beach etc.
For a million dollars you can have a stupendous house with heliport and huge facilities.

There were no working fire hydrants in the area, the fire department did not have any equipment that would have enabled the firefighters to get on top of the flames, and there were not enough tanker trucks to supply water to fight the blaze, let alone such equipment as fire suppressing foams and oxygen for the fire fighters. With the number of high-rise apartments in the city increasing daily, the need for more and more modern equipment is more than evident . DR1 TODAY.

THEY ARE SPEAKING ABOUT THE FIRE IN SANTIAGO THE OTHER DAY....
HOPE YOUR HOME DOES NOT CATCH FIRE..... REALLY I MEAN THAT AND SORRY FOR PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN HIGH RISE'S IN SANTO DOMINGO ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE???..... GOOD LUCK

First of all the Dominicans need to learn how to protect and respect foreing investors and tourist instead of killing them and abusing them by the rampant corruption in the island. Only then can they aspire to attract some of the sofisticated investors from Palm Beach.

It is the perfect climate for investment in many parts of the DR.
Huge economic growith - rising tourism - food self -sufficient country - good services and infrastructure - excellent communications with all parts of the World.
Well folks the lobster season is upon us. I just had an excellent lobster diinner. Now I have a nice mango in the house to share with people. It is giant - must be 2 lbs.
I prepare it Thai style - a little fruit carving.
Folks that live in deprived parts of the World such as the US should invest pronto!
And the freedom - imagine the bars and restaurants close at 2 am in many parts of the US and you wait 20 miniutes to get onto the freeway.
People can visit you from many parts of the World without the stupid visa the US requries.
Another slice of mango!
Don't let folks put you off this is paradise!
Americans have a tendency to be stupid - investing billions in GM, Chrsler, Omron etc . and loosing it all!. Crap 401 schemes that havn't grown a cent

The freakin airport is in WPB not Palm Beach. Palm Beach is a very SMALL town and couldnt' support one full plane to the DR once a month.

Its the nearest city to palm beach
property on the beach in DR is equivalent to PB.
