True, but I think you will find that all of the sales happened at least 6 months ago - the main building and the villas sold straight away but in the last 6 months sales have been very slow.

Juan Dolio
A vision of future

True visionaries of the riches and opportunities of an island with inexhaustible natural charms, have succeeded, with apparent boldness and courage not least, change the landscape of primitive our shores, in a modern and attractive destination to live in the most relaxing or vacationing at the highest level.

Welcoming the apparent success of this unique adventure, we wanted to recognize the work of these titans of construction in our country who believe in the development of tourism and are in favor of a promising future. They are the pioneers of this new face of Juan Dolio, a result of an effort for many years to break schemes, deliver all their savings to invest and above all, their hope. These daring developers in the area have seen his dream become a reality, which has mobilized the development of this, until recently neglected beach, in many and varied aspects of business, and helped evaluate projects and unthinkable for many, utopian, could undoubtedly turn, as stated by the Engineer Jesus Rodriguez Sandoval "in the satellite city most desired tourism in the Dominican Republic."

Huge buildings, equipped with the most exquisite finishes, entertainment and fun, today make up a river east of the island, in the picturesque town of Juan Dolio, just 43 kilometers from the capital city. With the additional attraction of golf courses, beach clubs, restaurants, bars and situated in a privileged place with stunning white sand beaches, which had been refurbishing and maintenance they need to be enjoyed, Juan Dolio emerge with strength and decision as an interesting and modern style of tourism, where investment and fun come together harmoniously, making it tempting for the vast majority you are looking at one place, collecting their most cherished dreams and their most basic needs and practices. And is that this offer, apparently tourist offers however, the desired option of enjoying an apartment-permanent housing, while enjoying the charms of a refuge beach. Its incredible advantages of proximity to the city of Santo Domingo, allow it a profitable investment, permanent, attractive and affordable even for those with vision.

Apartments of one, two three rooms in different buildings, all with ocean views, offer a range of probabilities of investment, for which demand has not been done and was surprised to wait until the developers more confident. A phenomenon that still surprise to many, has generated the confidence of many others who have dared to continue this style of business-pleasure, we offer as an option, not only for Dominicans, but for foreigners seeking refuge or own a place of retreat in paradisaical islands like ours.

Its growth has been such that has pervaded a hurry without pause to all those developers involved in this type of construction, to meet the growing demands of customers eager to buy a house in the area, which has generated no doubt , The necessary solidarity of all those investors in the sector, to unite wills in finding the best ways of development and planning in all the infrastructure and demand that this demand growth. Thus was born the Partnership for the Development of Tourism of Guayacanes and Juan Dolio, Inc. All rights reserved., Created precisely with the aim of bringing together the major hotel properties in the area and ensure the development of real estate increasing tourism, improving urban that this entails and the improvement of the environment as well as the incentive for new business options in the area.

But although this area has become the prime riverside of the island in terms of tourism property, their successes have history of the effort of these visionaries tour, so it is fair to recognize his courage, the risks they ran in his adventure and the vicissitudes that passed in pursuit of their dreams. They triumphed, and his victory is so palpable and obvious as the unusual multiplication of new projects, the added value of land and buildings nearby and dynamics which displays its population. And this fact has acted as a starting point, opening the floodgates of opportunities, multiplying the bids, leaving the beach and future of modernity, while the adult sea Bravia and the Caribbean, embracing tenderly their developments.

These five pioneers, some builders, other entrepreneurs, Dominicans, Venezuelans with allies and / or Spanish, have reaped the success of its sowing, and they have achieved thus boost the economy and strengthen the sector, allowing access to the hope of becoming and remain, as a first-class destination in the Caribbean.

Jose Luis Asilis, the Metro Group; Jesus Rodriguez Sandoval, Guavaberry Country Club & Villas; Mauritius Hernandez Briceño, Aqua Group; Pimentel Frank Hernandez, of Ibero-Caribbean Tourism Corporation, and Jose Antonio Rodriguez Copello, Starfish Resorts tell us their proud experiences, and thereby summon the exaltation of national pride, faith in our tourism potential and the certainty of transit correct paths to a better future for all Dominicans.

Jose Luis Asilis

Metro Group President

All projects are built on the beach at Juan Dolio have environmental permits, terms of reference and respect for laws

Environment and Natural Resources

Jose Luis Asilis Elmúdesi, its 48 years is a physician and prominent Dominican businessman, president of Metro Group, one of the strongest business groups and prestigious in the country, which has managed to imbue positive energy of each of its successful projects. In fact, the Metro Group of companies includes Metro Bus Tours, Metro Tourism Services, Metro Country Club, Los Marlins Golf Course, Embassy Suites Hotel, Costa del Sol I and II, Las Olas, Costa Blanca and Marbella, all these last, located on the beach in Juan Dolio. With all these projects in full swing and others under construction, is considered one of the pioneers in the development of tourism property, being perhaps the first to underpin the novelty of apartments facing the beach, combined with attractive entertainment offerings.

How and why begins in tourism real estate as an attractive and profitable option?

For Juan Dolio and our group of companies started by chance. We needed in 2001 to recover the investment made on the site that we acquired to install the Beach Club for our partners, and we think that make apartments on the beach was the best way. In one month we sold 142 apartments. Thus began this new business.

What are the advantages offered by tourism real estate for tourism development nationally?

Above all, the constant repetition of travel for owners to use their investment guarantees a perpetual arrival of tourists.

What responses have been so far?

It has been incredibly successful.

How has responded governmental action and legal platform to protect and facilitate this kind of investment?

Very positively, especially to developers more important, since the image of the country depends on whether they fulfil their commitments to buyers. This has resulted in the main we formed the partnership of Tourism Enterprise Real Estate, Inc.. (ADETI), to channel this government action, the implementation of relevant laws and perpetuate the future of this important business that helps develop our country.

Who are directed or targeted these building projects?

For Dominicans and foreigners and upper middle class.

What gives the Dominican Republic for tourists in relation to the supply of real estate other Caribbean islands?

First, a good investment, prices continue rising, when other markets have fallen. More legal certainty, the proper application of property rights, incredible beaches, and the warmth of the Dominican Republic.

Pros and cons of such investment.

Increase in value, enjoy a good property, in addition to services in town are impossible to receive, such as security, little traffic, constant electricity, good water supply, garbage collection service, transaction of property , Rental of the same, and others.

As the "contras", I have much time thinking and not find one.

Some environmentalists are against the abuse of cement off our coasts, What forecasts being taken address this obvious environmental load?

Differs from that there is an environmental load. All projects are built with environmental permits, terms of reference, respect the laws of Environment and Natural Resources.

What is the biggest challenge that has the expense of Juan dollar against the tourism now?

Maintenance of existing infrastructure, which in itself is very good, but we must maintain the good condition of roads, streets interiors, garbage collection, street safety, road lighting, and others.

How and why begins in tourism real estate?

The start of this concept within the area of Juan Dolio is based on incentives that the national government has developed with great commitment and dedication. Additionally, the regeneration of much of the beaches and the great contribution tax for developers and buyers of properties in the area, are ensuring the attraction and profitability of all related.

What are the advantages offered by the property for tourism development at the national level?

There are many advantages that this concept offers real estate to national tourism, among which the most important are:

Power-known beaches of Juan Dolio renting any apartment furnished in the area. This arrangement already exists and has created a high demand for Dominicans interested in enjoying the beaches as if they were at home. The services offered are more personalized and more exclusive than traditional in the area.

- Competition among developers by providing a better product and service guarantees to a large national tourism maintenance and care of the beaches.

- Each of the new projects invested significant amounts on the beaches and social areas, to strengthen the great attraction that have apartments with sea front.

Investment in Juan Dolio, A dream or a vision for the future?

Which undoubtedly is a visionary. The result earned by investing in the coast was immediate. The national government, in conjunction with private enterprise, was surprised at the benefits that this operation is throwing.

How has responded governmental action and legal platform to protect and facilitate this kind of investment?

All first always makes it a little more difficult path, however we understand that the national government must work with a little more precision all touristic. The platforms are very legal and governmental bureaucratic when it comes to permits and legalize projects in all sectors of the national territory. We must demand better conditions to facilitate such investments that will undoubtedly change the nuances of business tourism development property.

What gives the country to tourists in relation to the supply of real estate other Caribbean islands?

In Dominican Republic there are many spectacular beaches, and to be so many, most are little traffic, which makes them unique and even magical. The physical occupation of the users or owners of all projects in the area of Juan Dolio guarantee the exclusive atmosphere facing the sea.

What forecasts are tomandopara protect the environment?

The promoter that today no provision is excessive abuse of all materials that violate the stability of the environment in general, should not be entitled to operate in front of Dominican beaches. Certainly, we must make the greatest effort. Our group now is working with constructive systems that minimize the use of cement in the works. An example of the systems used are divisions of spaces with foam panels.

What is the biggest challenge we have now?

The biggest challenge is to create culture of order, promoting and ensuring quality projects. The Aqua Group cree in the professionalism of all architects who somehow involved in each project. All promoters should encourage healthy competition architectural throughout the area. We must consolidate the area as the best choice of the whole island at the time of purchasing an apartment facing the sea, just a few minutes from the city.

Fernando O. Pena Leon

General Manager of Club Hemingway Starfish Resorts

The purchase of an apartment, house or land in the Dominican Republic, represents a foreign direct investment, substantial and diversified, which generates a large economic activity

He did a degree at the Iberoamerican University in Business Administration tourism and hospitality. In his resume has extensive experience as general manager in leading national and international chains. At the time is at the forefront of Hemingway Starfish Club.

How and why begins in tourism real estate as an attractive and profitable option?

Normally, throughout the world, tourism development begins with hotels, and shortly begin to emerge restaurants and other businesses complementary in the periphery of these hotels. If this process is successful and the destination country is perceived as credible and sustainable, finally begins to develop tourism real estate. The property located in tourist areas tend to have a bigger market, since it includes both the local and international demand, thus the potential for greater added value and profitability in principle would be greater.

What are the advantages offered by the property for tourism development at the national level?

The purchase of an apartment, house or land in the Dominican Republic, represents a foreign direct investment, substantial and diversified, which generates a large economic activity and tax collection. Often accompanied by an improvement in infrastructure beneficial to all. Finally, the tourist who buys a second home visit our country repeatedly and greater periods of time.

Is this new concept to invest in tourism and competition or a complement to traditional tourist infrastructure?

A supplement. The owner will bring tourists to their relatives and friends who are usually accommodated in hotels and tourism infrastructure traditionally used.

What responses have been so far?

It has been a very arduous job, but the response has been good.

How has responded government the legal platform to protect and facilitate this kind of investment? .

As for government action, we believe that it has understood what is happening in Juan Dolio and has responded wisely and effectively, which also has resulted in an improvement of the legal platform.

Who are directed or targeted these building projects?

For Dominicans and foreigners, both serving first as second homes.

What gives the Dominican Republic for tourists in relation to the supply of real estate other Caribbean islands?

As a destination country, we are definitely more advanced than our neighbours in the Caribbean, but I know that most have been very successful in the real estate sector of tourism. I think the important thing is that every destination in the Caribbean has the necessary infrastructure projects and, of course security and democratic stability to enable it to be competitive. Then correspond to the final consumer make the choice of their choice, but I think that our country is very well positioned.

Some environmentalists are against the abuse of cement off our coasts What forecasts being taken address this obvious environmental load?

We must listen to environmentalists. Their tips are intended to better visual quality, air, noise, water, and that translates into greater product quality and value. The use of cement should be the only imperative. The architects should strive to integrate the projects in their environment in the most harmonious and aesthetic potential. Nor should we forget that Juan Dolio has a largely urban, as have countless beaches in the world, known for their great beauty.

What is the biggest challenge that has the Coast Juan Dolio compared with tourism now?

To preserve the safety and the environment. Just as combat any outbreak of arrabalización it is filed. Finish the new water treatment plant, since the current is at full capacity. Asphalt Boulevard of Villas del Mar, as well as other main streets.
