[I]"The government, through the RD Vial Trust, launched a national public tender on Thursday for the design and construction of the Amber Highway, a road that will connect the cities of Santiago and Puerto Plata in just half an hour. Those interested in participating in the tender can obtain the tender documents from the RD Vial office, located at Presidente Gonzlez Street 22, fifth floor, La Cumbre Building, Naco neighborhood, Santo Domingo. They can also download the documents from the RD Vial website and the website of the Directorate-General for Public Procurement (DGCP). Technical and financial proposals must be submitted physically or digitally.
The announcement was made by the Minister of the Presidency, Jos Ignacio Paliza, through his X account and other social media platforms. The Amber Highway is a project that President Luis Abinader has championed since the beginning of his first term."

"Business leaders in the provinces of Puerto Plata and Santiago have also advocated for as a contribution to the region's development.
But whether the highway will actually be built remains the question"[/I]

I'm betting it will be built eventually. , and it will put Sosua in a central economic hub with it's International Airport and prime location between Puerto Plata, Cabarete and Santiago.

An investment opportunity for the future, with economic development and much needed jobs.

Imagine half hour to PP, 15 minutes to Cab. And half hour to Santiago! The entire area would boom!

When you look across Sosua Bay, towards Charamicos, you see what looks like a massive condo development, perched atop the rocks.

What's going on there? I'm often asked.

Here's a short video, that covers the basics, but leaves out the context, under which this development was conceived and actually built.

Conceived in the 80's, it was a dream that was intended to establish Sosua as a rival to the old tired Playa Dorado, as the new star of the North Coast. It has a natural beautiful beach.

It was intended to a part of the total razing and re-location of the Charamicos barrio, and the installation of a new Marina.

The removal of the entire lower barrio on the river was actually accomplished to facilitate this.

But at the same time Punta Cana was the new hot spot for investment, cheap land and natural beaches. The PC airport opened in 1984, and the rest is history.

Lower Charamicos is still vacant land, with another abandoned and decaying hotel, and the beach and a restaurant, is used mostly by locals, and local fisherman, but still worth a visit to get a cold beer and some fresh seafood!

Sosua's efforts to shake off its international bad rep is ongoing, but sometimes it hits a dead end!

Starting 2026 new cedulas or National IDs will be issued. Pay attention to to things, a) Marital status disclosed on a cedula b) Check for age since new cedulas will be issued from age 16.

Out of curiosity how would you guys say Dominicas compare to their amiguitas on the neighbor island Cuba in attitude and service level and ofc looks? And how would you say the monger experience differ and how is dr different in general.

But I will say that if you want big fat BBL asses, like an Hispanic instagram girl with a super bubble ass, then Sosua has that.

There's been raids on several hoe houses before I thought they were going to be trafficking chicks all they did was scoop up chicks who might have been on PC and moved them to houses in PP. The DR needs to shit or get off the pot they don't want the girls on the streets so they go into houses and they bust them. I guess this was more about deporting Haitian women than prostitution supression.

Again if you're a monger and can avoid the DR I would advise it because clearly the DR wants the most savvy and culturally adept mongers to solicit students in random clubs in SD not deal with definded prostitutes in designated areas.

Hope this helps.

Trip.

Each agency can show that they showed up and played some minor role in busting the brothels.

They needed that many agencies to bust 4 women and 2 men running a few brothels?[/QUOTE]Looks like they have an inter agency task force to go around the local skim.

If you look at Operation Atlantico the first thing they did was switch out the local cops before the normal rotation.

They did that because they obviously wanted to get past the cops who accepted bribes for the whole system to work. Then they hit the hoe houses where the girls who came up from SD stayed at. If you wanted to do Urban renewal without completely killing the golden goose that pays for all the new expensive infrastucture that is needed to finance development this is how you do it.

It was memorial day weekend so a splashy bust would create headlines which gets into the paper which gets on ISG and guys thinking about planning Labor Day trips cancel and go elsewhere.

According to Flip Flop they did a raid on a brothel in Sosua that the local cops knew would be empty again guys on the strip see and hear about that and Cartagena doesn't look so bad anymore.

Again it seems more about getting more Haitians deported than anything else a pure smoke and mirrors play to spook new mongers thinking about coming.

As I said any experienced veteran mongers tapped in to expat networks is good those that aren't ain´t.

If you been coming for years you will have a good time. I have an old friend who wants to introduce me to her friend that works at the All Inclusive she works at. But guys on their first sex tour might be.

Disappointed.

Hope this Helps.

Trip.

After you leave the Dominican Republic expect the department of tourism to reach out to you and ask you 21 questions pertaining to them trying to get you to visit more often.

Think about making a trip to the DR, wondering how the landscape work. Should one be trying to meet women online like sokka of even FB or are there enough in person places to mínale with the chicas. Looking for redbones and fair skin women mainly. What part of the island should I be checking out?
