The Attorney General’s Office has approved an increase in the number of prosecutors in Punta Cana, ordering the new officials to be more accessible to tourists at the hotels in the area so that complaints and calls for assistance by tourists can be quickly addressed and acted upon.
This means that tourists will no longer have to go to the Prosecutors Offices should they be a victim of any sort of crime, as the prosecutors have been authorized to visit them in the hotel where they are staying.
The new measure was announced by the president of the Hotels and Tourist Projects Association in the Eastern Area (Asoleste), Ernesto Veloz, who said that the new service is a very important and positive development. He said that although the Punta Cana area has a low incidence of crime against tourists, the interview at the hotel will make life easier for the victim. He said the measure was suggested by Spanish honorary consul in Punta Cana, Javier Moreno.
