Well, they are trying to make Sosua great again. What they don't realize is that once a part of the world loses it charm, it does not return. So good luck with that. They had best set their sites on the expat condo owners since those numbers are increasing daily on the north coast. Them and Dominicans that come on the weekends from Santiago and Santo Domingo by bus.
Two days ago I saw a Cruise Ship Tour Bus depositing a busload of tourists to go down to Sosua beach from the main road AND people were still working at both end plazas. A miraculously day that was. Progress and some short term tourist/cruisers.
