The Dominican Tourism Real Estate Companies Association (ADETI) rebukes the measure in decree 280-09 issued April 3, especially at a time when viable solutions are needed to face a global problem. “An additional levy would be catastrophic to our sector; for this emergent market, from the lack of competitiveness that would be created for our marinas compared with those of the rest of the Caribbean area.”
“The tourism industry now more than ever needs stimulation and support, because Dominican Republic must focus on bolstering the sectors that most generate currencies for our economy, being these the main pillars that motor and diversify the country’s development,” ADTEI said.
