Minister of Tourism Felix Jim?nez said a US$25,000 contribution by Viaggi del Ventaglio, a leading Italian tour operator, will make possible the repair of typical homes of dwellers in the Bayahibe village in La Romana. The lovely wooden houses were damaged by the high winds of Hurricane Georges last year. Viaggi del Ventaglio is the leading tour operator that brings Italian tourists to the Hotel Ventaclub Gran Dominicus in Bayahibe area. The wooden houses were so postcard perfect that they were featured on the front cover of the 1998-1999 Hotel & Restaurant Association Vacation Planner.
