    For me, the Dominican Republic is very much alive. My wife is from Santo Domingo. We have a home in DR and America. We have already been to DR twice within a 7 month period last year. We are going back on March 26th. It's refreshing every time I go back with my wife. The love from her family and the kindness from the community. The food and the presidente beer💯 beautiful weather. I can't wait😎❤️🇩🇴✈️

    We came to DR in 2023 after watching many videos by yourselves and others To get an idea of others experiences in the country. We visited Punta cana and had a wonderful experience. Returned again and looked at properties and returned once more to purchase. We found people to be kind and even though we don't speak Spanish they assisted us the best they could- amazing ❤ We are working on learning Spanish and will return year after year to this wonderful paradise. So for us it is alive and filled with wonder and new experiences to explore 😊❤

The other portion are Dominicans that go to visit their fam in DR, and the smallest percentage is for "extracurricular activities".

The DR continues to outperform itself in the tourism sector. In 2024, for the month of January, the DR saw a precipitous increase in tourism, higher than the previous year!

    I think the DR is alive and agree with your video 1000 percent. I know you were trying to be nice but i will say it. If you are traveling for sex it is dying they are not traveling for women but sex. I honestly think the sex travelers options are dying. Colombia really is not safe for sex travelers. The Philippines, DR, Brazil and even Thailand are trying to make there countries more family oriented and shutting down alot of those spots. That why guys are saying the place is not as good as before.

    It goes both ways. I came there looking for property. I met a female in puerto plata. She wanted to visit me at my hotel. I told her I’m not looking for sex or to pay for sex. She said ok no problem. When it was time for her to leave, she asked if I was going to pay for her taxi. I said of course. I gave her about 1000 pesos. She said that wasn’t enough and wanted 400 hundred dollars for her time and didn’t want to leave. I threatened to call hotel security. IGood thing I saved our messages. Needless to say I stayed to myself the rest of my trip. That was crazy. I thought if I stayed away from Sosua it would be ok to meet women on the street. But that was my experience.

    I agree 100% with your husband perspective in this video. I too share his distastes for the types of travelers he speaks of. However I respectfully take issue with the omission of simply naming the culprits. Anyone can clearly see and know that this video is speaking in response to the degradation of the DR by Taylor Made Dreams and others from the north coast (Sosua). We know that he is the primary RUclipsr that is spewing this nonsense about the DR. We all know he is the old disgusting SEX TOURIST on the North Coast that encouraged thousands of other sex tourists to come to the DR to exploit poor women for sex. As good as this video is it rings hollow absent the courage to call him out by name. Absent that he is free to spread that nonsense with little to no pushback. I have openly been calling his sorry azz out BY NAME (him and others) repeatedly for the lies and misinformation he is spreading to other young men. I too am fully invested in the right reputation for all the DR as I have invested my money into buying a retirement home in the DR and I know what he says is NOT true. Lastly while I can strongly respect James for defending Dominican women as you his wife and daughter are Dominican and to say nothing is to allow these attacks on each of you. I am disappointed that when these same men was making these vile and reprehensible attacks against American Black women (such as his mother, and maybe siblings and other female family members) he remained silent. I do know from his past videos he may feel compromised as Taylor Made started him on his RUclips career, and his past affiliiations with him. But as he said to be an HONORABLE man is to speak up no matter what ones past mistakes are. So in closing I thank you for making a video on this at all, and only wish to remind all that to remain silent on these obvious injustices as we see them, is to be complicit in such deeds. Have a great day

    James is sure 🔥! There is more to life than Seggxx! My experiences have been very good! Me and my flaquita esposa are building a Iife together here. I will not say that it's perfect, but nothing in this world is perfect. There's good and bad everywhere on this planet. The individual person creates the atmosphere of their experiences rather positive or negative. See ya in May! 🛂✈️🇺🇸🇩🇴👍🏿
