Dominican Republic (DR)
golf resorts and tourism attractions are all up and running following
the Haiti earthquake. Sharing the the eastern third of the island of
Hispaniola with Haiti, the DR experienced no damage from the
earthquake. All transportation and communication systems, airports,
tourism businesses and medical facilities are operating smoothly,
making the country available to support the relief effort. The DR has
offered its international airports and seaports as staging areas, among
other endeavors.
400 miles east of Haiti’s capital, with mountain ranges separating the two countries, the world-famous golf and vacation resorts, hotels, beaches and natural environment at Punta Cana, Capcana and Casa de Campo are open and functioning as usual.
