Turning Sosua beach into a generic beach for the rich, just like many of the others in the Caribbean. While what you said is true, it sad that another beach turns into a corporation. Like I have said, I have seen it happen to other beaches around the Caribbean....it never turns out well for local people. It is what it is, the people lose again.

Time To Move The Bars And Girls From Pedro Clisante

What about jobs and small businesses? Don't they make out?
I hope they don’t make out
hey it’s 2021 not judging ..I think like anything, it takes awhile for people to want to make the move. Playa Dorada is a perfect example. It was run down, needing a makeover, mostly older AI's. Then Riviera Azul built some condos (I think they were the first), people started getting interested. Blu Jacktar renovated, built a couple condo towers, there was more interest in PD, and all of sudden there's penthouses selling for a million plus. At Blu JackTar, it helped that a well known Dominican family was involved. So wealthy Dominicans wanted to be a part of it. And Playa Dorada continues to get better all the time, except the pandemic put a damper on things.
I'm not saying there will be million dollar penthouses on Sosua Beach. But it's the same concept. Sosua Beach is run down, and in bad need of a makeover. If people see some improvements, and a nice development they can brag to their friends about, there will be Domincan buyers.
You can move them around, and around somemore... and pretend they dont exist but....Whats legal in the whole country ,certainly is in Sosua, the smilemakers I mean...........
Sure it’s legal nobody is upset about it’s always been legal..it’s just got bad in downtown Sosua in your face pick pocketing drugs in 100 sq meter defined Sosua .The government not people on this forum decided enough is enough especially when they got under age crap going on .. you did it to yourselves With loud bravado flagrant drug dealing and my personal favourite you need two bags one for her and one for client in case her bag falls off so you can look at your self in mirror in the morning..
Moving them out of sight is part of the goal. Just one part. It is not about pretending they don't exist. The practice can still happen,
just in a slightly different spot. Lawsuits to "stay put" were lost with that part of the legality of moving businesses is settled.
Now it is time to move on, in a manner of speaking.
I guess some people just don't see the big picture for one tiny part of Sosua. Don't worry, you can still got the smile you crave.
I was last in that area over 15 years ago before there was any scene I noticed. I imagine "it is all good" there for whoremongers after the huge growth over time. Since that is not my thing, the whoremongers will have to respond as to how great it is. Smiles are available just about anywhere, no?
From what I've heard, it's larger than before, but the only place that compares to Sosua is Boca Chica.
I think Sosua is slightly better than Boca Chica if that’s possible lol Well I mean in Bavaro I think it is a lot bigger but maybe spread out more and as it has so much other tourism maybe not as dominant.
Ok a few points,,Ok they want to redo the beach like Aruba big hotel resort and 2 pavilions at each end Ok Now Pedro cillante,, looks like a misfit lane with 3 chinese junk stores and a shell of its former self are the developers going to by every single property and the remaining bars hopeing to chase away working ladies and men the enjoy there company HMMMMM its a tall order !!!
Why does everybody keep knocking the Chinese stores? That's where many of the spandex queens buy their clothes and jewelry and their clients think they look gorgeous.
One of the things people keep stepping over is the whole "yeah, but prostitution is legal" quagmire. I'll be the first to say it (I believe), don't be surprised when the gov't. starts diverting their attention towards the whole "legal sex" scene here.
I think it's coming.
I think it's coming.
Nobody is getting rid of hookers. They are just being moved to a more out of sight area. What happens to the properties that are going to be vacated is anyone's guess. Is it a tall order just to do that? For sure, it has been YEARS in the making, (or is that years in cumming?) ...
Prostitution is not illegal. As JD suggested, is that a forever and ever thing? Years ago there was some interest in making soliciting a prostitute, as in being a "John" illegal. Advertising prostitution and pimping is illegal. But that is an entirely different story than what is going on in Sosua between the beach and that very small part of Pedro Clisante that gets the whoremongers going, in two manners of speaking these days.
I think the DR does what’s ultimately best for tourism. For business. If they think that overall it will bring more tourists they will do that. Or do you think it would be for religious reasons? Or to protect the women especially and then offer them more education? Or would it be for public health reasons?
