On the 28th of August, tourists arriving for the world-famous black LGBT event, InfernoDR, found themselves stranded at the airport, and after having to arrange their own trasportation to the resort, they were told there were no reservations for them in the system, despite the payments/deposits made to the event coordinator, and now comes a cryptic note that the event has been cancelled or delayed. There is widespread shock & disbelief:
Developing: Inferno DR CANCELED for Labor Day Weekend*|*WhatsTheT

Gay tourists comprise a not insignificant chunk of DR tourism, and given the uptick in crime as reflected by the posts on this website, we would accordingly be more predisposed to use package tours (safety in numbers), but now that a package tour/event has proved (allegedly) to be fraudulent, it will deter some from trusting other package tour/event operators, and in this economy, even a small dent will hurt business owners and tourism workers, especially those who cater to this specialized niche. If the event goers get their deposits back, it will be less damaging.
