Thanks, I skimmed your posts and saw that you had 3 stores, closed one, reduced the hours in another and are now opening in Cabarete. I wish you suerte.

Time To Move The Bars And Girls From Pedro Clisante
I agree. Sure I would like things to be moving forward faster, but I am very impressed with all that has transpired in a short time.
tt doesn't make sense because you are not presently in Sosua and are apparently basing your thinking on the posts on this board.
It is true that many of the people who write on the board are in Sosua or have been recently, but that doesn't mean they know much about Sosua oher than a small segment Pedro Clisante.
Thank you, @Jacquot
The post you reference was from a little over a year ago.
Cabarete location has been fully open over one (1) year now and surpassing expectations, while the Sosua location is also fully open and continues to do extremely well as we approach five (5) years in the business
Try that with a well connected Dominican and see where that gets you!
Adios. Again.Try that with a well connected Dominican and see where that gets you!
The government is finding it very hard to take definitive action on this.
It is like getting rid of a Jacquot (and whatever DW used previously on DR1) once and for all.
They've been saying the same about me on here for years.
Although many of those same folks are long gone and I'm still here, lmao.
Sadly after 10 years of life here in the DR, I'm probably going to be living in another country by this time next year so I may end up not seeing the changes take place in Sosua.
The changes may never actually take place. Only time will tell if any of us ever see them.
I think only the economy growing will make it change. When those types of establishments on the main street and beach are priced out. I think it could happen. Just ask bathata.
The spin I have read about for years is that once the eyesore is out of sight and out of mind, that might possibly allow things to grow because investors are more likely to come in.
The overall economy growing first and pushing the prices up is also a possibility, but a less likely one. I consider that possibility as putting the cart before the "whores".
I for one am glad that "downtown" Sosua is now a bustling tourist destination. A great place to spend an afternoon/evening at all the wonderful restaurants and venues. I am sad the beach is being destroyed.
The current life threatening coral killing open raw sewage pits used by the illegal beach village located behind the illegal vendor shacks will be destroyed.
An engineered human friendly coral saving sewage treatment system will be built.
The flies are going to be sad too.
You can say anything you want about Sosua but there is not other tourist destination in DR that offers all you can find in Sosua.
Dominican life style, beaches, business and fun all in a three squared miles.
All you need is walking distance,

I’ve snorkeled a lot in Sosua, only see dead coral in shallow waters. I never saw live coral here. Too late I fear.
The overall economy of the DR growing won't change Sosua on its own. That requires local investments and changes by the local government. The focus remains on the southern parts of the DR with only a few people, including the president of the DR having interests in the Province of Puerto Plata including the Sosua/Cabarete region. Local growth has come from new homes in existing and new projects for residential housing. Some got pushed back by the pandemic and may never return. Others grow slowly.
It's a really small town. Shouldn't take much. My only hope is I prefer to see the positive changes coming from within the local community rather than outsiders as this will help to preserve the character of the neighborhoods as opposed to the cookie-cutter one size fits all approach.
