The Dominican Republic’s luxury resort and residential tourism developments will be featured in an investment story scheduled to air at 7pm this Monday on NBC’s On the Money program. Correspondent Kerry Sanders toured several of the Dominican Republic’s leading luxury residential developments to produce the report. The NBC crew visited Puerto Plata (Velero in Cabarete), Cabrera, Casa de Campo in La Romana and Cap Cana and Roco Ki Westin in the Punta Cana area. Producer Nery Ynclan said they also visited a Haitian village where women wash clothes in the river to show that the DR is “a country of contrasts.”
The Ministry of Tourism provided a guided tour, but NBC producer Nery Ynclan clarified that it was a NBC story. “It’s completely a news story on the boom in American investing and construction on the island,” she explained. She reports that interviewer Kerry Sanders was so enamored that he’s in touch with a realtor about buying some land and that she herself would be returning to a villa on the north coast with her family in the spring.
