Are these people on crack?

Tourism Minister Francisco Javier Garcia Fernandez says that China should become the next great emerging market for DR tourism. Garcia Fernandez will be heading a Dominican mission to the Shanghai World Fair this month. The Minister will make the most of the event to hold meetings with people with potential to facilitate an increase in Chinese tourists to the DR.

How long does it take to get here from China and how many other excellent destinations are in-between?

This is just another well planned VACATION paid for by the poor people of the D.R.
Another frivolous fruitless idea.......

There was a group of Chinese at the Ocean Blue resort in Punta Cana last weekend. Where they were from I have no clue.

I believe so, Robert. Of course Javier Garcia is one of the more corrupt members of Leo's court, so they will enjoy the trip....
What a joke!!

Of course, any Chinese that come here will meet up with relatives, get residence and then go to the United STates as quickly as possible. Or they will get Deputy Garcia Ramos to get them a Dominican Visa....

Probably thought to get a chance because visas for Chinese to visit any US vacation spot (Hawaii, DisneyLand, Las Vegas) are slim....but then the question arises, how will they get here from China????

Just another stupid idea from a very poor administration....like Leo and his gang in San Diego....

Maybe a Cabana owners get together? They run the Cabana business in Santo Domingo.

I have no doubt we will see isolated groups of Chinese here on vacation.
But with so many other closer countries and demographics to attract, you have to wonder what goes through their heads.

I'll be at World Travel Market in London in November, will be interesting to see if the official DR stand is promoting anything other than Punta Cana.

Maybe this year it will be sponsored by 什么他妈的笑话.
Have fun translating that in Google ;)

The world's team of millionaires (with a net asset of or over $1 million) went up 17 percent to 10 million in 2009 putting China among countries with the fastest growth in wealth, according to the Merrill Lynch-Capgemini world wealth report released Tuesday. Then there are the 50 million chinese or so that are upper middle. The potential is huge, and it is also a world fair so would it not be appropriate to send some sort of small delegation. The vast majority of Chinese are poor but there is immense wealth there. There are numerous Chinese nationals that come to Canada as tourists.

I miss going to "El Dragon" near Claro?s main office.
It was really quiet there, usually we were just about the only customers.

Arrived in Tampa on Sunday from Santiago and we went to a Chinese Buffet.

There must have been a convention near by, most everyone was speaking English. :chinese: lol

(I kept forgetting I was back in the States, and called to the waitress in Spanish)

Probably as long as it takes to go from much of the U.S. to Phuket, with an equal amount of excellent destinations in-between.

And yet... Phuket has American tourists. :cheeky:

This could work. I wouldn't be surprised if Mrs. Ng inspired this idea, which could be good business for the Barrio Chino (could become a must-see for the Chinese tourists).

Also, the DR has the largest Chinese community in the Caribbean and Central American region; and that could spark interest from some of the 300 million Chinese that form the mushrooming middle class.

Apparently the Chinese were quite fond of JL Guerras singing - after all who isn't after hearing merengue for the first time? I know I was after my first trip to the DR.
