I can only see the DR really getting tourism from the US right now. Not sure how it works with Canada.
What is your guess ? Do you think they will go in lockdown again and close border again ?
Coronavirus Information for the Dominican Republic

But I think you would agree the incentive is high for home owners and long term (year round like me) to come "home". On the other hand it's a bit early for tourists especially given that fact that the NE USA is sweltering in the heat right now. And the "Dominican Sun" feels richer and sweeter to the North American starting in November. They'll be back soon enough. Covid, scmovid, who likes ice, biting wind, and snow packed roads? There's a place for them.
Whether tourists arrive will depend on how hotels manage sanitation. If people get sick at the hotels no one will come. If they don't get sick, they will come. They will not go outside the resort though. Things are very loose in non-tourist locations. Close contact and frequently no masks. Again, the next few weeks should tell the story.
Tourist hotels that are open now have only about 10 percent occupancy at the moment. But, as j says, it is early.

Also the number of hotels open for tour operators to book people into will play a big factor as well as price.
I am beginning to doubt that. The tracking we hear they have started in the UK of people in quarantine and the DR seeing a spike now in July soon going into August. The overwhelmed DR health care system.
Based on the reports coming out of the Cibao...........there will probably some sort of re-implementation concerning a lock down.

Yeah that is what they are advertising, but likely Tui will cancel if things are not under control
Growing calls from medical profession for curfews and this one seems to have traction to close up shop at weekends 24 hours.
