Santo Domingo.- The Global Foundation for Democracy and Development (Funglode) today starts the 4th International Conference on Security and Defense 2012, titled "The tourism and hotel security: strategies and perspectives," with 23 exhibitors from 12 countries in the proposal of public policies on tourism safety in the Dominican Republic.
Center for Security and Defense (Cesede) director Josefina Reynoso Chicon warned that Dominicans need to know and established the difference between the types of security, "which isn’t only citizens, but food, tourism, drug trafficking and the economy."
The conclave starts in Funglode headquarters today and ends Saturday.
"For the first time defense and security issues are taken away from the Dominican Republic National Police and Armed Forces and are handled by civil society, which doesn’t handle these issues well, so this conference is a type of education and to create public policy and prevention," Reynoso said.
She said in addition to innovative proposals on public policy, different players will work on developing strategies "to provide the tourism industry with the necessary tools that allow increased business and competitive advantages offered by the country as a destination with a highly secure environment compared with the countries of the region."
Experts from 12 countries
The specialists who’ll take part in the gathering are from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, United States, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Panama and Dominican Republic, among others, all prominent scholars.

And the main word being used here is "TALK"
The time for talking has passed, time to act is passing if not gone... Time to educate and teach businesses and people how to not treat tourist as pray for a fast dollar, but as repeat customers for many dollars over many years... We can only hope it will sink in and become the normal... ??
Maybe it's just wishful think?
choo choo train.
good comment., in the last few years each year like last year 2 planes going back to canada had to make and emergency landing at mia in florida. 100,s of passengers on board had got food poisoning after all of them had eaten in the same hotel before leaving the dr. {yes it was the all u can eat gang}
dont think they will be back for more i would say.
take a look at puerto plata i have spoken with my friends in the last week and they tell me its a ghost town.
for years they took the tourists to see the amber museum? please even a idiot does not to go on vacation and be take to this place.
remember watching the tourists police in around central park most where looking out for young ladies to speak with instead of watching the tourists.
as i said u can never have a real future in any business nor can the locals ever take down the bars that guard their apts, homes and business's
and live in this place with a feeling of real security. until u have a real police force who go out each day and do their jobs to protect all.
And how much is Lie-onel and Lady Maggie raking in for the “Wonderful” event?
