A report from the World Bank, focusing on the Caribbean region, points out that the Dominican Republic’s tourism sector is strong but the country’s main problem is attracting investments. In the report, called “A Moment to Decide: Development of the Caribbean in the 21st century,” authored by Sanjay Kathuria, the major positive aspects of the Dominican Republic are the lower labor costs, the telecommunications facilities, and the successful preparation of the workforce in the private sector. However, the economist cited the principal obstacle to attracting investors is the poor education system and high levels of poverty.
