Yes best thing is to start planning and booking when you have evidence of people traveling in as visitors. There is a brave group here trying and testing the waters for the rest of us.

We're booked on a July 9th AA flight OUT of SDQ. July 7, their first flight is totally booked. It's coming from Miami, so wonder where all those people are planning to go. If they're truly allowing in tourists, you'd think there would be some plan.
I was scheduled to fly into POP with Westjet on July 7th. The flight was confirmed up until last Sunday, when it was stated that the flight was cancelled until the beginning of August.

I would hate to see the Dominican Republic become the place you do not want to go on holiday because it is the epicentre of Covid19 in the caribbean. It has already gained this reputation and needs to do all it can to reverse this situation.
I have been in two pharmacies yesterday, the bank every day, grocery store and colmado- all have mask protocol and social distancing in place, Pharmacies both had forehead thermometers in use as well so I would say all the rules are being ignored.
Masks, social distance are scoffed at in Dominican Republic
<p>Santo Domingo.- Hundreds of people on Sun. were breaking sanitary protocols to counter the COVID-19 pandemic, as the seaside Malecon was lined with cars for miles. In Santiago people went to places such as the Monument to the Heroes of the Restoration, parks and markets In colmadones, there...
