Lower Taxes possible for air arrivals
"The European Chamber of Commerce in the Dominican Republic has announced it will be hosting the Dominican Republic Forum to promote the country as a tourist destination. Special guest speakers will be Minister of Tourism Francisco Javier Garcia and ambassador Alberto Navarro, head of the European Union delegation in the Dominican Republic. The event is scheduled to take place at the JW Marriott on 6 April 2016. The theme will be discussing the potential of the Dominican Republic for becoming the hub of the Caribbean, and center of multi-destination tourism.
The conference is taking place at a time when leading US airlines have announced they will begin flying to Cuba.
Upon making the announcement, chamber president Hans Witsenboer advocated for less taxes to attract more tourists. He said that air arrivals pay charges of US $93.50 per air arrival. He proposes to reduce this to US $33.50 to encourage more visits.
Witsenboer said that to encourage cruise ship visits, the government considerably reduced the taxes charged for sea arrivals. A total of 300,000 are already expected this year, with prospects to increase to 600,000 in 2017 and one million by 2018. " - from another popular website about the DR.
If the government of the Dominican Republic takes the same step to it did to increase cruise ship visits that should lower ticket prices. That is if airlines pass on their tax savings to their customers.
You don't know what you are doing
Of course I do!
One of the esteemed members of this forum has suggested that I don't really know much about the Dominican Republic because I have not traveled the country in constant search of new pussy. To this charge I plead: No contest.
I have not found the need to travel the island in search of pussy. All the good pussy I know has legs. And I have found most of it to be very eager to deliver itself to my doorstep right here in Santo Domingo. But when you roll like I do (luxury apartment with a ocean view and a pool), it's not that hard to establish relationships with personal pussy suppliers willing to service you in ways best left to your imagination. But being a "hombre completo" (complete man) I am always open to suggestions. And have I decided to venture forth to explore the island. My adventures will be detailed here.
Live long! And may the pussy be with you!
