That is not TC, that is PoP and the cheapo holidays people mistakingly book. Most Euro Chavs have a crap time on the North Coast, they go once and then never come back to the country thinking that is all there is to offer. Chavs expect a night scene, and I know Sosua and Cabarete like to think you have a good night scene, but by European standards for partying, it is pipe and slippers time. I don't think Chavs return, I think they see Caribbean and think 'wow that's cheap', same price as a week or 2 in Corfu or Ibiza (whatever) and so book the dream. Most people associate Caribbean holidays with expense, when Pop sell off A?I week long breaks for 400 quid people, anyone will jump at it, just to say they have been to the Caribbean.
A few years ago me and the Mrs went up to PoP to have a break from home and the norm for a while, we stayed in PD just to take the load off, do nothing and have everything at our finger tips. It was amazing as people had flown from the UK and were staying at the same hotel for less than we paid having only driven from our home. That is not the weird thing though, the MAJORITY of people we spoke to were on the dole/unemployed and could afford the break. That pi$$ed us off no end, dole mongers holidaying it up in the Caribbean, when did that happen. We thought we were lucky until then, lol. Needless to say we have never been back to the north coast since, nothing to do with that vacation specifically, but there is nothing at all to attract us to that area and so...................
