The authorities and the hotel sector are preparing a plan to protect foreign and Dominican visitors on Boca Chica beach. According to a report in Listin Diario, they are devising strategies to fight the crime and insecurity in this area. Boca Chica is one of the most popular destinations for local tourists. It is also visited by foreigners due to its proximity to Santo Domingo. The Deputy Minister of Tourism, Hans Dannemberg, the new Director of the Tourism Police, Colonel Alexis Pena Mancebo and the Executive Director of the Boca Chica Hotel Association, Henry Pimentel, visited the area together with several hotel managers to identify the problems affecting tourists visiting the area. Nestle & Co is supporting this initiative.
