I highly respect your opinion. But all other economies in the World can survive and exist without New York sex-tourists and mongers. Why this country Dominican Republic cannot I wonder?!
When decent people see that Sosua is clean and free from sex tourists they will come to buy property and real estate will skyrocket. It will mean the true prosperity. Not the shame of today`s mongering.
Just my personal opinion. Not forced on anyone else.
You mention in an earlier post that it is the opinion of
ALL Dominicans and ex-pats you've spoken to....that is BS...and more than your personal opinion.
For the record, this country does just fine without sex tourism...better than any other Caribbean country in fact, but the majority of that tourism is in Punta Cana and La Romana where the weather, water, resorts, and beaches are much nicer (to most people, Dominicans included). Why you and others insist that Sosua will suddenly become an attractive alternative to other areas of the DR and elsewhere once you get ride of the hookers and loud music is beyond me. I live and own property in Cabarete so I am all for doing whatever it takes to weather the current worldwide economic downturn and raise Real Estate prices in this area, but these current measures are absolutely not the answer...
...and furthermore...why do you keep referring to "New-York sex tourists" you really think all the single men in Sosua are from New York??
...and finally, and far as you statement about "all other economies in the world" surviving without sex tourism...have you ever heard of Thailand, The Phillipines, Brazil, Costa Rica, Colombia, Curacao, Amsterdam, et al? Sosua and the DR are far from the only "economies" that have legal prostitution...
