And?????
Giving locals a discount is nothing new and I think it is the right thing to do. You are as bad as the guy complaining over a few pesos at the zoo.
this happen anywhere. florida residents have special prices in their parks. why dominicans cant have a discount here?
Pay attention to the words " vast discrepancy " its not uncommon to be a difference for the hometown resident just that its vast in this case given that the majority of patrons are foreigners and dominicans from abroad.
I paid attention, so what?
The zoo charges 100 pesos for a local and $10USD for a foreigner so it seems to be the norm in the DR. I am quite sure anyone that can afford a plane ticket can pay $55 much easier than a local can pay 999 pesos. So I still think it is fair.
BB,
I assume you pay the local price as a resident , so puhleaseeeeee spare us the rhetoric purely for the sake of disagreeing.
Charging tourists at the zoo more than 3X the local price is total horse$hit, at least you get a ham and cheese sandwich at Ocean World for the tourist price.
Happy New Year!

Do you serve American BEEF Burgers?
This is important as my Sister's children are coming here this winter and they don't care for 3rd world Beef as they are from Alberta.
I wrote the 'My Zoo Experience' thread and as far as I can remember I didn't complain about entrance prices, I paid 100 pesos for me and my lass and our daughter got in free, and I found it to be very cheap. I wasn't happy at getting charged again once in the zoo as it leaves you with few options, it isn't the cost, its the BS way about charging that cost.
Anyway, wanted to set you straight on that one, if you are commenting on another guy then excuse my interference in this thread!
Slight diversion, back on track=====================
I am sure Conchman only serves imported Argentinian ground filet mignon on freshly baked Moser buns for VIP clients such as yourself PC!
Discounts for residents?
That?s B.S.
I?m outa here!
Opsss, just a minute, here?s my residency card!
Teleferrico also gives a lower entrance fee for residents.
I agree with residents getting better prices, as many can not afford the regular prices.
Residents will often visit more one time, with tourists it?s usually a one time affair.
Residents will also sometimes bring their visiting friends to see the place.
I have been to Teleferrico many times, mainly because I take visiting friends there. For myself only, I would not keep returning, so I appreciate the discount so I can take my visiting friends there to enjoy the place also.
I know in the past Jamaica only charged Jamaicans half price at resorts.
The price breaks are a normal thing, residents are often repeat business.

Why not have a different price range? The business mentality is the foreigner has the deep pockets and can afford to pay the entry price, so take advantage of the situation. The tourist will pay. A Dominican will not pay tourist prices, end of story.
they shell more because they can afford more
i guess you would prefer the locals to have ABSOLUTELY no access due to the fact they have no funds to spend on the EXTRA treats in life such as you do....very generous of you...enjoy your stay
This is not just a DR thing. When I lived in Hawaii, they had what they called the "Kama'aina Discount" aka, resident pricing on pretty much EVERYTHING....restaurants, surfboard/kayak rentals, hotels, etc. And no, not at ALL restaurants, just some of the more local joints.
They do that because Hawaii is a ridiculously expensive island chain due to tourism, and cost of living has gone through the roof, like in most beach destinations. Kama'aina pricing does help make it so that people whose families have lived on the islands for generations can still afford to live there even with the ridiculous housing costs.

Tourists and foreigners pay the maximum fee for entrance in any place around the world.
In Galapagos Islands we pay US$100.00 dollars for the tourist card versus $US6.00 dollars for natives or colonos....
and so on...It is typical everywhere not just in DR....(native pay less)
No matter who you are, just go to Ocean Word and enjoy it ....It is one of the best places in Dominican Republic that deserves more than one visit....
Specially OMG to swim with the dolphins...
Ocean World is PRICELESS....

Imported lemons, limes, oranges and of course the best beef......
Hey Lucy, I can't speak for the other men here, but I would much prefer swimming with the beautiful women that train them.
Dolphins just don't have the curves in the right places.
