A lot of businesses closed in Sosua
Ms Kaufman's post speaks to the 'upgrading' we talk about in another thread.
A newer, better(?) level of food and drink and hotel may be in the future.

Here is the plan by the powers that be as I see it:
Step one - reduce the presence (and reputation) of prostitution in Sosua as much as possible.
Step two - To be determined.
To be determined is likely to be this. Make the community more attractive for retirees/snowbirds so investments will be made to support family related tourism including adding a couple of AI hotels.
As Lindsey said, I have not use for prostitution, nor do I condemn it. I merely call out what I see happening by the government. As Lindsey points out, wealthy Dominicans are already going to a couple of high end places where they are not in the middle of hooker central. The desire is to make Sosua more desirable in general to such people as well. Follow the money, it is not in the whore mongers.
As we know Lindsey, calm and reasonable!
Your post should put to rest the notion, that Dominicans would not be caught dead in Sosua and would suffer extreme embarrassment if seen there.
No, it does not. It does not speak to how middle and upper class Dominicans feel about Sosua in general. The actions of a few Dominicans during the bulk of the year do not speak for the many. Note that those Dominicans are going to the higher end places in Sosua like Infinity Blue and Ganesvoort.
Having a Dominican family, I know very well what they think of Sosua and it is not good.
During Semana Santa, bus loads of Dominicans go to the beaches throughout the country for a few days of debauchery. The vast majority are not upper or even middle class Dominicans riding in those 30 year old school buses to get drunk for a few days. Although they are members of the group of society who contributes far more during the year to the world's oldest profession than do the relatively few sex tourists who visit.
There might be many in your scenario listed, but there are also many that arrive in Jeepetas from Santo Domingo that do not fit what you have described.
From my experience with Mr. AE's family, they do not go to Sosua in those jeepetas. They go to Las Terranas, Casa de Campo, Punta Cana, etc.
Take a walk through Sosua during Semana Santa sometime (not just the beach), I assure you there are many...
I am modifying my slogan suggestion for Sosua…
The Honorable Ileana Neumann is welcome to use it, Gratis…
Sosua, A Half-Baked little whore Hamlet for Families & Pensioners who just don’t know any better.

I can confirm this. Sosua gets plenty of people from Santo Domingo during Semana Santa.
He just jealous .
Where else but the Socialist City of Nueva York can you have your Rent FROZEN by the Good Mayor like Herr Warren Wilhelm Jr. ( 0 % increase for like 3 years in a Row)..
and as long as you ok with your Bill of rights being thrown out the window..
Its an absolutely splendid Utopian Metropolis to live in.
lmao
I guess that is great during Samana Santa. The real question is why don't those rich Dominicans with Jeepetas do the same thing the other 360 days of the year?
