Yes, I know that the title to this thread sounds a bit drastic. But for those of us who have visited Las Terranas over the past ten years, the transformation of this quaint, quiet, pristine, absolutely beautiful village on Samana Peninsula can only be described as destruction. The village is now beset by traffic jams and smog, off all things! Construction of large hotels continues unabated. I cannot fathom how the infrastructure can sustain such development. M'Frog stated on another thread in this Forum that Las Terranas is changed forever. That saddens me greatly.
I guess my question is what, if anything, can, or should, be done to limit this kind of limitless growth? And is this what we can expect in the future for other areas of the DR?
