I see the Dominican Republic as one of the most popular countries for the investment buyer. Tourism there is on the the increase, and the Dominican’s Minister for Tourism recently highlighted that 25% of all travelers to the Caribbean pick the Dominican Republic as their destination. Plans are in place to invest US$1billion into tourism infrastructure developments by 2010, including new roads and highways. The combination of lover prices, increasing popularity with tourists and occupancy rates that average over 85% in the most popular areas, mean that rental property in the Dominican Republic can produce returns. Keep a particular eye on the north coast regions of Socsua and Caberete.
