I have owned two restaurants in the US (one Italian and one Middle Eastern), as well as having been the Director of Catering for a major American hotel, and Account Manager at a large incentive travel company. I am not yet fluent in Spanish, but I am able to speak in limited conversations (particularly in areas related to my work), and am continuing with intensive private tutoring to improve my Spanish-speaking skills. If landing a job with a good salary is not likely, how difficult is it to start a business in Santo Domingo (my areas of expertise are in event planning and restaurants)?
