No association Ken.

AFAIK it's a DR government tourism site. Here's the announcement I received:

"The Dominican Republic launched its new Web site at www.godominicanrepublic.com. The user-friendly site includes a trip-planning section and suggestions for activities and sightseeing. Luis Simo, vice minister of tourism, said the destination's recent growth spurt made it "essential to develop a website that will grow with us and our visitors' need for information." "

I posted it purely for information.

It is the official site for the DR. It was developed by an ad agency for the DR govenment.

It seems exclusively aimed at US visitors; under aerol?neas it only lists US companies flying to Dominican airports.

The site has lots of outdated info.

Go look at the interactive map.
They have no idea of the location of some places.

This is supposed to be the new flagship site, how sad!

They have this similar site for Puerto Rico also...

Nothing in it that we don't already know about DR....and yes, tons of outdated info...

Leave to the DR government to not take advantage of the world exposure of the country as it should! :(

Puerto Rico's site (gotopuertorico.com) is atleast like ten times better then that one, and it was also very well advertised (WBC, etc), as I have commented here. However, it is so much better than that other official DR site, I give them that one,

...but I still feel like...

...SECTUR and BVK dropped the ball on this one...

Map Of DR

Please enlarge the interactive map for the North Coast. It shows Caberete on the East side of Rio San Juan. That is an error.
It should be changed to read Cabrera instead of Caberete.

Oops.

Sorry.

Well, Sosua, Cabarete and Rio San Juan have moved a bit eastwards, but the rest looks correct. OK, those are pretty important tourist towns, but still, it could have been worse :ermm:
