No way.The only thing is, Robert, that that "million - dollar - idea" would be already acted upon by the locals who would posses knowledge of such idea.
That's because they are expensive and there is no insurance for them that includes theft and collision damage. I tell people I'll rent my V-Stroms, but they have to leave me a US$12,500 cash deposit.It is difficult to hire decent sized motobikes here,
Well that is something, find insurance that will cover (if possible) or a way of insuring them alternatively (not sure exactly what I mean by that) and you've got something. Although many will have ventured there before.That's because they are expensive and there is no insurance for them that includes theft and collision damage.

What ever happened to colored fonts on DR1. I need "sarcasm blue" but no color is to be seen...

Someone needs to teach these jokers the first rule of customers service which is (...) if there is anything else they can help with.
Try harder, it is obvious what I am saying. Find someone/way/how of getting theft coverage and you could have a winner!Can you say that in English ?/ Or Spanish.... any other language than the one you used ? Yo no entiendo !! No Comprendo!!
One already exists, INFOTEP.So, a good customer service training agency I think would be a big hit in the DR.
I would have "liked" this post 3 or 4 times if I could because you are correct.I've posted this before and will say it again, opening a business here is not EASY. It is very hard. Do you speak Spanish? Do you run a business now? Or have you ever run a business? How much money do you have to invest? Do you even know anything about living here? Do you know and understand the culture?
Running a business is not easy anywhere, it is especially difficult here if you do not know the culture, do not speak the language and do not know the subject matter.
Tourism here is very difficult, full of regulations, full of STRONG competition. Don't think for one second you will be welcome with open arms. tourism companies and individuals are competing for dwindling dollars. You will be just another newcomer.
So move down here, learn the culture and the language while you work for someone else. Keep your eyes open and your ears OPEN all the time. Watch and learn. Then look for opportunities. Once you have an "idea" float it by a few trusted people. Do not broadcast it for all to see. Some have deeper pockets then you and if it is truly a good idea they will jump on it.
I for one do not give my ideas away! I do give feedback on ideas for free..... LOL
