Tourism collapses 87% in August

[playacaribe2]

The DR tourist industry has been brought to its proverbial knees by the pandemic.

Just as travel seemed likely to begin to open up in the second half of the year.................a new threat emerges in the form of updated CDC Level 4 travel advisories (Do Not Travel) to be announced soon.

The list is indicated to be pretty all encompassing............affecting 80% of the world's countries.

Will the DR be on that list?

Do Not Travel List: State Department recommends Americans avoid 80% of world’s countries

The state department is planning to upgrade dozens of countries to a Level 4 travel advisory, which is a Do Not Travel.

Same logic they applied to the vaccine no doubt.........."The best [travel advisory] you can get.....is the one you can get.

India - level 2; RD - level 4
Doesn't really make sense.

I am confused

What were the criteria ?

Do people really pay attention to this at this point ?

DR was elevated to Level 4 Do Not travel with C and H designations.

C= Crime
H=Health

I am scheduled to facilitate the transfer/sale of some cars at the port of Caucedo in June. At this point the bigger concern I have is how the airlines react and if they cut service or if there are new disruptions of cargo service at the port.

It is a bit bizarre as the airlines have for several months been ramping up and adding flights. How/if this might impact travel is still an unknown, but it will likely have some impact on the AI's.

What I see is that we have been in level 4 before and airlines continue flying down here, so I dont think that will affect, Dominicans didnt care that before and now less, the percent of ocupation in airlines flying here this month increased, I think not too many people pay atention to those alerts.

How many US cities should be Level 4 as well?

That was my point..... hardly ever gets off the stink list....

The DR spent much of 2020 as Level 4 Do Not Travel, but on November 19, 2020, the State Department lowered it to Level 3.....and it stayed that way until April 20, 2021, when it was upgraded again to Level 4.
