So are you saying the possible solution could be letting only the good-looking girls walk the streets? :D

......they left on a bus for Punta Cana long time ago.....and yes as someone just said these type of girls are everywhere in the DR.....

There are prostitutes in every city and town in the US, Canada, Europe, and everywhere else in the world, but nowhere in the DR are there as many prostitutes per square meter as there are in Sosua and Boca Chica.

I'm not, actually like it a heck of a lot. If you must know, then, here it goes; I commute to/from SDQ and JD spreading time among the two.

Better than Sosua, right?

Well, anything is truly better than Sosua!

I appreciate your answer. It is easier to understand your viewpoints when we know what you compare with/likes to do.

I strongly believe it matters what you like. Different people appreciates different things. For myself I do not like too big cities when I go on vacation (Rio being the exception). I love Sosua beach with its unique setting I have not seen elsewhere. I have met a few very interesting & nice people that I like to have a conversation with. I like the platinum gym to which I go almost daily when I am in town to teach the Dominicans a lesson in how you handle a racket. I like the restaurants despite the fact it was even better in the past.

And the Sosua night scene even though it is not pretty does not affect me at all. Would I like it to be a bit different.. ? Sure, but I do not care too much. I go to Puerto Plata or Cabarete when I want to go out.

I have not been to JD so I do not know if I would like it better or not but probably not as I think yours and mine preferences are different.

Funny...I was going to post how there are so few girls on the beach these days. I love the bars on Sosua beach...so relaxing and no one bothers you.

I think some people should read again the subject of the post.

It's about "prostitution affects TOURISM in Sosua" and not about "prostitution affects EXPAT in Sosua".
After a while an EXPACT may not care anymore about prostitution because started to get used to ,part of the scenery..
Understand may evolve or not....

However ,for many tourists coming here for one or 2 weeks ,it's a disaster image to have a city center like this...

Enough on this subject for me.

Peace

Who exactly were Pica Flor's Customers ?
If you look at this 2015 article they seem to cater to OLDER Couples, Seafood specials type of thing ..

What could this place possibly have done wrong ?

Yes, I gathered that from another sites intel... say no more..

I was trying to use Sarcasm.. from the OUTSIDE , it was Advertised as a Nice Restaurant for Expats ..
see the link to 2015 Article.
Technically they were doing exactly what the Authorities wanted them to do ... MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A RESTAURANT
.. So now we see that is just not enough ..
Changes are definitely a coming.. This could get very ugly , fast , imo

I thought for sure that the guy that ran it had the "fix" in. He was open for business long after Passions and others were closed down.

I take you concur w/my assessment?

Sosua and Boca Chica , according to Dominicans, are not what they want the DR to be known for, if that is your point then I agree. People that argue that Dominicans go to Sosua beach on weekends miss the point that they do not go out in the city of Sosua, but rather from the bus to the beach and back to the bus home.

"Prostitution affects tourism in Sosua"... Yes it does, it brings in the tourists that otherwise wouldn't come, and it's not keeping any tourists away. Rich Capitalenos go to Bavaro, Juan Dolio, Samana, LT, or have vacation homes in Metro. Rich Santiagueros go to Jarabacoa, Confresi, Playa Dorada, or have condos in Sosua Ocean Village or Cabarete. Get rid of the putas they still wouldn't come to Sosua because Sosua has nothing special to offer. Those with less cualto already come to Sosua (or BC) because they can't afford AIs.

If Illana wants to improve Sosua start with putting a few garbage cans on the streets so I'm not forced to throw garbage on the street like a chopo :D. (And get rid of Politur so they don't hassle the putas for 200 pesos or a free BJ, and create a puta stampede every time they drive by.)

You are missing the point that the government wants the hookers gone. They will do it the beast way they can, which of course is unlikely to be a good way since prohibition never works. The government really does not care at all about people that like hookers. They would prefer the sex tourists go elsewhere.

Regarding Picaflor. They not only arrested the hookers and the owner, they also arrested the kitchen help. A thorough house cleaning, in a manner of speaking.
