From today's Sosua News:


Recently a contract was signed in the green room of the National Palace between representatives of the Japanese government and the Ministry of Economy, Planning and Development. In the contract the Japanese delegation commit themselves to make a donation of 114 million pesos for the development of tourism in the province of Puerto Plata. The money is made available for training activities in particular performed by Infotep (Instituto Nacional de Formaci?n T?cnico Profesional). At the meeting also ongoing training projects have been evaluated.

This contribution from the Japanese government is another stimulant for the further promotion of tourism in Puerto Plata, Sos?a, Cabarete and Maim?n.

ROFL. POP and Japan culture integrating as one happy family. Add the Expat that can't keep his beer nose out of it while trying to be the big shot knowing nothing about the respectable Oriental culture ... need I say more? ( Or maybe they like some things?) Naaa. TOOO many close places that they can get that.

BIG TIME........ ROFL.

never happen and if it does...... only once.

JICA has been operating here in PP province for several years now and spent a bundle of money and spent it right. The Japanese here have demonstrated a very disciplined, organized approach that is all about sustainability. They've made some great strides with local Clusters and TURISOP and others, and impressed MITUR, whose offices they've been using downtown. I don't know to what you're referring Robert, but if it's more of the same it'll certainly be welcomed. However, there are other Japanese agencies operating in parallel, always have been, JICA being just one. Don't know about the deal referred to with $114 million.
JICA is like USAID, others are like the Peace Corps, etc. running their own programs. They know very well that all they throw against the wall won't stick, all those big gov't funded agencies do. It's the cost of international relations, and it's been practiced for decades.

Would be interested if your teaser post has legs.
