As of Tuesday next, bar hours are extended in Cabarete beach bars only until 0200 weeknights and 0300 weekends. This will be a 30-day trial and if successful will apply to Sosua. I don't know what 'successful' means to them, but it is a change for now. This announcement by Politur boss at the national level, yesterday in a meeting in Sosua with bar/restaurant owners. Sosua owners howled but to no avail. Politur was accompanied by Bernardita de Fenke, the new sub-secretary of tourism, an employee of Sec'y of Tourism, Felucho.
I can only guess that this will be the new standard in tourist areas. Rest of the country changes remains to be seen.
