The Chinese have been doing market research and looking around the North Coast for a while now. There is a good chance we will see A lot of Asain tourists in a couple years.

Let's welcome them with karaoke bars and restaurantes serving dogs? Heck no they should stay in China or travel closer to home. Too many of those people ruining their own environment and polluting the oceans

Sosua will be replacing unsightly spandex Putas in high heels .. with Kids literally allowed to krap in plastic bags in the middle of the Pedro Clisante street ..

( sorry if this offends anyone, but it is 100% TRUE, and a completely socially acceptable way to go "Potty" in China... so don't kill the messenger for stating a Fact)

We won't see an influx of Chinese and if we do.... me voy

And talk about low ball offers they play Chinese checkers. If you have a $300K house expect an $80K offer, because they only pay high in rising markets where ROI can be guaranteed.

For the last few years, many of the guys have been going to Colombia. That trend is only going to increase.
True for now. If the "brothers" misbehave or put too much baloney about Colombia mongering on the internet the ricos in Colombia will not tolerate it and someone will get hurt,no way will the rich and powerful allow it. Colombians aren't passive like Dominicans,they will act and it won't be pretty.

I disagree. The only places that come close to the scene in Sosua are found in the Philippeans or Thailand and the Sosua mongers won't be going there anytime soon - way too far.

...if you go to south America... check out the beaches in Rio, Brazil..Copocabana, Ipanema..Amazing

That is absurd. Many people prefer Sousa including families - the beach is way more tranquil and kid friendly and has a more quaint atmosphere than the windy beach in Cabarete with it's more formal and organized sit down restaurants and bars. Why do you think the Santiago buses go to Sosua beach and not Cabarete (besides no where to park them)

Besides if you have a car you drive around different blocks not just the 1/2 mile strip of 'highway' mixed with local traffic. I fear to see the mess when the paving (currently ghosts) operation rolls through Cabarete - no side streets to loop traffic around - grandes tapons for days

My bad. Should have been more specific. I meant foreign tourists, not DR locals. I’m well aware of the local scene at Sosua beach and the weekend bus traffic. Same thing used to happen in Playa Dorada at POP Village Resort now under reconstruction. Buses carrying large numbers of DR families with kids would roll in every weekend. DR families will miss that resort. They got a really sweet deal there on the weekends. Doesn’t alter the fact that Sosua will have a hard time attracting foreign tourists and their kids in its current state.

With regard to the massive breakwater project, your right. The infilling is a temporary measure and an expensive one. Sosua is not the only area with beach problems. Parts of Cabarete beach are being impacted as well.

So who knows anything about this new nightclub at Ahnvee Hotel?
SkyBox they call it.
They opened last Saturday night 26 Oct, had live music for the opening, two different Dominican bands performing.

They are open tonight as I type this, and yes they are providing transportation for their Bourbon Street clients, chicas and chicos.

With Classico and Merengue Bar still open it's not going to be overly crowded. EXCEPT, they can remain open until 6:00am, Classico and Merengue cannot.

China owning the DR because of such bad deals is a bit different than having a lot of Chinese tourists being here. There may be an influx Chinese "owners that live here" when the DR defaults on loan payments, etc, but that flight from China is way longer than most anyone would want to make.

As for Sosua, let's see what else changes...

Think about this:

When Chinese tourists in the DR buy souvenirs, the souvenirs were made in China. :cheeky:

Years ago the same thing happened to me, but I was in Medellin Colombia and bought a handful of souvenirs on the street to take back with me. Got to the house in Colombia and found the China stickers on everything!
