How has the escalading problems in Haiti affected the Tourist regions in the DR. From what the international news sources are saying, the US and France in particular have refused to help Haiti until the Haitians get a grip on the situation. Of course, the Haitians don't have an army, so how they will get a grip is beyond me, anyways, I would like to know how that situation has affected the tourist trade in the DR and what is the general attitude about the "rest of the world" putting pressure for the DR to accept Haitian refugees?
