I actually find the article to be spot on in regards to it's intended demographic. Every generation has it's own particular quirks, and millennials are no different.....for better or worse. Most, not all, but most tourists and expats are naturally situated in close proximity to beachfront locations, and rarely come in contact with the growing 21-35 millennial crowd. Aside from the obvious in Santo Domingo, visit any location that features a university, and you will see many new businesses opening, attempting to gain the young, up and coming professional crowd. This includes wine and tapas bars. What you are witnessing is a nation moving forward, through it's youth. Successful parents who will provide their children with excellent educational opportunities, and those young adults who aspire to succeed as well. You are currently dealing with the first generation who have always had things such as the internet, google, facebook, and youtube available. They are aware of what occurs in the world, and want the same for themselves. Whereas you may have had young adults in the past who would have been content with continuing the tradition of working on a farm, construction, or the service industry, you now have young adults who want to manage or own that farm, construction company, or restaurant/hotel. I know many young adults who are currently enrolled in university, and studying engineering and architecture. The change will not happen over night, as time has shown, but it is occurring. These young adults are not spending their time in colmados and carwashes, but yet in the hipster themed enviornments mentioned in the article above. For those with the means, it's an excellent demographic to be targeting, if interested in a business venture.
