Actually, I think most people's experiences will show this is not true -- that tourists may have a hard time when entering without a passport. Actually, the majority of US tourists traveling to the Caribbean do not have passports. Simply because the majority of US tourists do not have passports and choose areas where they do not need passports to travel -- Mexico, Canada and the Caribbean.
The passport issue is not a problem on the DR end -- it is a Homeland Security Department requirement. The problem is not entering, it is the US that will be requiring passports to re-enter the US.
