Everything I have posted is on topic- correct. I am certain not following him around. He just like doesn't like being proven wrong. I will leave the paranoid guy alone.

Puerto Plata is very peculiar as it is a rural town yet it is (or was) constantly being injected with tourists. It is one way for foreigners to casually interact with “traditional Dominicans” and relax.

The thing is, that experience can’t compete with Punta Cana’s loudness and all inclusiveness. It’s a lot easier to put together a travel package to Punta Cana with all it’s Coco Bonginess.

That’s my opinions as a Dominican for all it’s worth.

When the average person goes to the travel section of their local newspaper, what do they see? Punta Cana and fabulous air, hotel, transportation packages. Of course that's where they're going to go. It's all about marketing.

Puerto Plata went downhill a long time ago. Word got out. Some AI's have renovated, but a bad rep is hard to turn around. The rest of the north coast is barely mentioned and marketed compared to PC.

Playa Dorada is one of the main tourist sources for Puerto Plata. They like the close access to supermercados, restaurants, and the excitement of the nightlife on the Malecon. I wouldn’t peg Puerto Plata as a rural town. It’s expanded considerably during the past ten years, and is home to many more expats. Luperon, a town I love, is my idea of a rural town. It was very easy for me to meet Canadian and other expat friends there and be introduced through them to my many DR family friends. I’ve been to Samana, Punta Cana, and other areas over the years. Nice places with their own good and bad points. I prefer to stick to the Rio San Juan to la Isabella part of the North Coast.

Great deals from N. America now, $700-$800 round trip AI to PUJ.

While it's true that driving down a street in say the Torre Alta neighborhood a person might see a group of cattle crossing the street or just standing there staring at you while you wish they would clear up the road to be able to go already (been there, done that), Puerto Plata hasn't been a rural town or even a town for decades. If Puerto Plata is a 'rural town,' then there are no small to medium size cities in this world.
