I have long believed that properly managed "Ecological Tourism" in the DR would eventually become a major industry.
The many beautiful and natural areas in th DR are and have been relagated to the back burner due to the lack of appropriate and incentive based attention by the Governments, past and present.
If one would follow the development of the National Park System in the USA ( I use this example only as a reference, since I am not familiar with other country's efforts ) then a "Tourism Plan" could be developed that would lead to tremendous profits, both for locals and the Tourism Industry.
Local communities could be encouraged to produce local items for resale, guided tours, etc., etc. The possibilities are endless and limitless.
