If you look at the number give above by the OP, you'll see it appear Samana had had the largest 'fall-off' in rooom occupancy rate. well guess what? It so happens that a bunch of hotels in Samana were recently built or expanded, and just opened with the WELL BASED anticipation that the SPANKING NEW INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT at El Catey, Samana, which only opened in November, will eventually 'take off'. ..and the WELL BASED assumption that the SPANKING NEW MODERN highway coming from SDQ will soon be finished.
the following hotels just opened recently
The 'fall-off' shoud mostly be taken care off with the highway been largely finished by the end of this year, and by Miami Air
SOON STARTING the first DIRECT FLIGHTS from the United States to Samana International on behalf of Bahia Principe.
Juan Dolio is

P.s notice Punta Cana, the tourism area that comprices DR's tourism's heart and brain, is going fool steam ahead.
