Minister of Tourism Felix Jimenez announced plans to build a plaza for Sosua beach vendors. Cesar de los Santos, director of tourism for the North Coast, announced the Minister met with the Asociación de Objetos Artesanales de la Playa de Sosua, which groups souvenir vendors of Sosua Beach, to present the architectural drawing of the project. The Minister’s plan is to guarantee loans to the vendors so that these can acquire booths in the new plaza. The new plaza would be located on Sosua Beach, and is intended to better organize these. The government would lease the land within 60 meters from high tide, as established by the law. Some 200 vendors operate out of shacks at Sosua Beach.
