I read in the most recent past DR1 newhound that Vincent Vanderpool-Wallace, one of the CTO's mucky-mucks, was bemoaning the recent US Congressional edict that requires US citizens to have a passport upon returning to the US by air after visiting certain countries, the DR being one of them. This goes into effect in Jaunary 2007 (I recall). It exempt those returning via land and ship until '08 or '09.
This bureaucrat said, in essence, it was a bad decision of cataclysmic proportion (my exagerated words), citing extreme economic hardships.
I'm struggling to understand his perspective, and why he is so upset. Perhaps someone better associated with the tourist industry can help me out in understanding this. There has to be more to it than I see.
