Former US President Bill Clinton will vacation in Punta Cana this Easter. It is uncertain whether he is coming with his wife, New York Senator Hillary Clinton and their daughter Chelsea. The former President is scheduled to arrive on Thursday, 12 April for an eight-day vacation, as per some news reports. The Clintons would stay at the vacation home of designer Oscar de la Renta, a personal friend of theirs. The villa is located next door to Club Med Punta Cana. If she visits with her husband, this would be Mrs. Clinton’s second visit to the DR. She visited in November 1998 shortly after Hurricane Georges. At that time, she also stayed at the designer’s Punta Cana villa. The Clinton’s expected visit comes at a time when Punta Cana is becoming one of the most popular Caribbean destinations for US tourists. (9 April 2001)
