Nope.
If you are traveling from the US to DR you do not need a travel visa. Passport, tickets, ID and a tourist card that you pay $10 US for when you get to DR. If you want to avoid the lines for the tourist card buy it in the states. If your in Miami you can get in the Dominican consulate. They don't sell them at the AA counter anymore. Hope this helps.

Visa
You don't need a visa if you are coming for visit, just you get the tourist card at the airport here or in state or the travel agency when you buy the ticket.
If you are coming for study or work then you might need a visa or permit to do it.
Countries who need tourist card:
Albania, Andorra, Antigua & Barbuda, Araba, Australia, Austria, Bahamas, Barbados, B?lgica, Brasilia, Bulgaria, Canad?, Chile, Croata, Curacao, Republica Checo, Dinamarca, Dominica, Finlandia, Francia y territorios de Francia, Alemania, Grecia, Hungr?a, Irlanda, Italia, Jamaica, M?xico, M?naco, Holanda, Noruega, Paraguay, Polonia, Portugal, Rumania, Rusia, St. Lucia, St. Vincento & los Grenadines, San Marino, Republica de Slovakia, Slovenia, Espa?a, Surinam, Suecia, Suiza, Trinidad & Tobago, Islas Turku y Caicos, UK, EU (Puerto Rico, Islas de Virgen y Hawaii), Venezuela y Republica Fed de Yugoslavia.
Foreign with a different nationality who are legal resident of Canad?, Dinamarca, Francia, Alemania, Grecia, Irlanda, Italia, Holanda, Portugal, Espa?a, UK, EU y Venezuela "Tourist Card and Valid passport."
then every body else need a visa

Zionlion leads me to believe that you may not be a US citizen. If not you may need a visa before leaving the states.

Very Similar
It is a lot like landing in Canada at the airport, similar ID - proof of citizenship AND photo ID ( a drivers licence is not proof of the former) and in Canada of course there is no tourist card as there is no exit/pasport control when departing.
That said, a passport is infinitely better ID for travelling bar none. I would not be surprised at some point particularly with the world situation that the DR moves to mandatory passport in the future.
