In a recent report of where canadians travel (based on 2006) Mexico had the most visits by canadians at 842,000. Then cuba at 604,000, dr at 509,000 and then everyone else way down from there.
I was a bit surprised but then these numbers are for 2006. I think maybe the numbers for mexico will go down with all the bad publicity. I am not surprised at the cuba numbers as Cuba does massive advertising in canada compared to almost none for the dr.
My main concern is that because my family has a rental investment operation in the dr, visit numbers are important and i am worried that at some point in the near future, the us will remove their law against americans travelling to cuba freely, and then a lot of the americans who may go to the dr will try cuba. On a side note, i was told there are aprox 400 americans each week that go to cuba but to toronto first. From there they go to cuba and the cubans do not stamp their passport,, so when they return to the us, it shows they were just in canada...
I just wish the dr. tourist people would start promoting the dr in canada and then maybe we would get more visitors.
