A native journalist from Guatemala who is visiting the country, denounced Friday that for eight fish services, a lambí service and seven beers, in a Boca Chica beach business they charged 22 thousand 850 pesos, which considered an abuse.
"Since I arrived in my country, I'm going to make a scandal about this unforgivable abuse that I was subjected to in Boca Chica, Dominican Republic," said Guatemalan journalist Freddy Carreras, who said that until Thursday, when he was the target of the scam, He stopped being a regular visitor of that tourist pole.
He indicated that each fish service was charged at 1,500 pesos, as well as lambí, while the seven beers were charged at 200 pesos each. Carreras said that actions such as the one that was victim only cause damages to Boca Chica and the Dominican Republic.
"How is it possible that if you are a native of that town and make a living selling fish and other food to visitors, you incur abuses that only harm your own people and therefore, damage the image of your country?" , said the complainant, who said he works for one of the main Guatemalan media.
