Holy crap, I'm actually stunned.
It was reported in today's digital edition of Listin Diario that Leonel will NOT be implementing the proposed addtional :bunny: 5% tax on hotel rooms, as had previously been reported.
I have to admit, when I first heard about the 5%, I hung my head and wondered if any of Leonel's advisors actually knew anything at all about how the tourism industry works in this country. Apparently someone does. Halleluia!
I am happy to be wrong on this one.
It gets better: apparently they also won't be taxing more items in the "canasta familial" as had been feared and (you'll love this) are implementing cost control measures on government employees.
This is one of those days when I have a great deal of hope for the country.
Cheers!
Joe
