FWIW, I once flew into Barahona airport on an international flight, in March 1998, as a surprise stopover en route from Port au Prince to Santo Domingo. It appeared to be for the sole purpose of providing the ground staff with work experience, or on the job training: they overzealously checked documentation and rifled through luggage. Then we all boarded and flew on to Santo Domingo. It was strange. Nice airport, though.

Thanks for the comment. I gather that Narcosis provided the bottom line- until hotel rooms reach critical mass in the Barahona region passenger flights will not happen. Seems I recall reading about a group of foreign investors planning a luxury-villa/AI type project between Barahona / Paraiso, but I currently can't find any reference to this in Internet searches... Was wondering if the South is destined to remain under-developed relative to the rest of the country and if so, what the underlying reason is (maybe this question belongs in a different forum? my apologies if so...)...
