Then it wouldn't be a natural beach. That would fly in the face of the purpose of eco-tourism.But has a large tourist population, which can happen to Barahona. Definitely I agree, the beach will have to have some reconstruction.
today was the inaguration of a weekly flight from San Juan to Barahona's Maria Montez Airport. Schedules are for 3 flights a week. Google, "Viaje Barahona San Juan"
Not debating you, just made a comment about the huge number of properties for sale.Cobraboy,
From my understanding the majority of lands for sale is not really in the hundreds or thousands but in the hundreds of thousands as in the hundreds of thousands of mt2.
The area in the Vuelta de Cabino, I pretty certain you would know the location as a welled southwest traveler, let me see that's what, 3 trips a year! Awesome.
Anyway, this area sold out approximately 20 sites in two years. But it's a development and most foreigners are interested in such and not isolated locations.
As more developments are designed, approved and constructed there will be more attraction.
BTW, there are current negotiations for 25,000,000 mt2 in the Cabo Rojo area of Perdenales.

Don't know nor really care about Vuelta de Cabino. I have no intention of buying anything in the southwest. Nice place to visit...
Heck, I hope you do so well selling them you'll buy some advertising on DR1, since you're pimping it here anyway.
:classic:
Have a nice day.
I didn't find anything on google...
Not gonna buy advertising, huh? Business that bad? RD1 is an outstanding advertising value. You really ought to pony up.I guess you must have followed the link. Thank you for visiting. With all due respect to DR1, I did ask the poster to pm me for any help I can provide. Which I have to apologies that I haven't as of yet. I guess I'm not that hungry.
Other than that next time you in one of your 3 times a year bicycle excursions to the southwest do slow down a bit and take in the lushness of Barahona.
You may never see such rain forests in a "desert" again.
Photos don't say what is the future of Barahona
That is correct Sir.
The fact of the thread is that yesterday's inauguration is the first step in prompting developers to consider Barahona as a viable and less expensive alternative to small inns and hotels now that an airport can facilitate travel.
There are many similarities to Cabrera in the eastern part of the island in that the beaches are very rough and only very few (Perdenales) can boast powered sand beaches. However, given it's mountainous and eco-tourist possibilities is may hold attraction to families:
1) not looking for inclusive resorts
2) not looking for bar and single type activities.
These eco adventurers may indeed prefer the visually beautiful southwest and hopefully the opening of Maria Montez Airport is the must anticipated beginning.
First of all I'll introduce myself and I'am sorry when my english is not perfect.
I live for 4 years in the Barahona district, first in town and after in the campo. I bought land build a house etc.
I am not good in forums like this and I don't like many people speak without knowing anything, maybe this forum is for tourists but why open a discussion "what is the future of Barahona".
Nobody knows what is the future, but if you think something it is nice to hear or read why you think this, all the blabla bla. So for me facts are important and thats it. Only 1/2 persons came with facts.
Some facts in my opinion.
The land and house prices in 4 years doubled, trippled or more, especially beachfront properties.
Many properties are sold, in this area there are only big properties for sale, except few small parcels for about 2.500 pesos por metro at the beach.
But not only the prices of real estate, everything doubled: rice/ acete/mais/pan/cigarillo etc.
Everything in this district is speculating, but for me, I agree only with R. Alberto mailings, if you can buy anything for a reasonabel price you never lose any money.
The only thing we need is a few big investors, Playa Salladila, Juan Esteban, Quemaito and Arroyo, four spots for Resort or Golf. Than maybe few flights will enter at Maria Montes etc etc.
Also we need a different person at tourism in Barahona, the jefe, and the woman from Eco-tourism should have more power and money from the capital.
Greetings, all the best.
