The Ministry of Tourism has reinstated the ban on the use of jet skis in the Punta Cana-Bavaro beach areas. Resolution 05-2001 of the Ministry of Tourism nullifies its Resolution 02-2001 issued on 8 January 2001. Jet ski use is now banned on the beaches located from Punta Cana to Boca de Maimon, Macao and Uvero Alto. This had been requested by hoteliers in the area who are concerned about the safety of their guests. The Ministry did not outlaw the use of jet skis in other areas of the country. (26 March 2001)
