I would hate to see Charimicos get developed, but it's probably inevitible. It's only a matter of time.
And yes, I know how projects progress (or don't progress) in the DR but I think this may be different. All you need is a foreign developer with a 300 - 500 million usd and it will happen. The main ingredients are already in place: great Beach, a main road, greedy politicians and a nearby international airport.
Everything else can be built.
They'll bring in their own crews and work according to their own schedules. Once started, there will be no normal DR delays. Money talks....
I'd rather they bulldoze el Batey, and leave Charimicos. But that won't happen.
I would not make a special trip there, although it is fairly safe during the day, be mindful you will be the only tourist walking around.
Is this a co-worker of yours outside of the DR? I wonder if he meant somewhere else, somewhere sounding like the name you wrote, which was incorrect for the place we think you mean, but might sound phonetically like somewhere else? If your co-worker is in US, Canada or somewhere in Europe he will know enough about foreigner's perceptions to know that 'beautiful' wouldn't be the first word that comes to mind. Ask him again, then get back to us.
Yes that's correct, less touristy it is. That's far more accurate than beautiful. But going to someone's birthplace is a must for your companions, particularly if they haven't been there in a while - a trip down memory lane. You'll be fine, they probably know people there - makes all the difference.
