In last Saturdays Calgary Herald Travel Section there was a fairly lengthly article boosting the D.R. I think it gave the North Coast a good report which is some good news compared to a lot of the 'doom' we seem to get a lot of the time. I hope the link to the article works. If it doesn't I will try and 'paste' the article into here later. Possibily many other newspapers carried this same story. I hope this article represents a brighter future for all you North Coast Business owners.

Great Article!

Sorry to reply to a post that is over a month old but I am so happy to see an article like this!

I work for a Canadiian tour operator and I know that bookings to the DR from Western Canada have been severly down in the last couple of years. Reasons from most travel agents that I speak with when I suggest the DR is that the DR is percieved as an "unsafe" destination (why? I have always felt relativilty safe on any of my trips?) so tourists looking for AIs would rather go to Mexico or Cuba. Passengers from Central & Eastern Canada are our main customers to the DR.

In the last few weeks I have had a surge of requests for the DR from customers in Western Canada. I was thinking that people out west are finally coming to their senses about the DR.

I hope articles about the DR like this one keep coming! And I hope other Canadian papers carry this article. It has a great overview of the main tourist destinations available to Canadians from the major tour operators.
