Dominican Republic
The white-sand beaches, impressive mountain ranges veined with spectacular rivers and waterfalls, and saltwater lakes teeming with exotic wildlife are just part of the Dominican Republic's appeal.
What you notice first about the Dominican Republic is its size. This is not just another tiny Caribbean island with a beach and a straw market. Instead, it's a big country with spectacularly varied scenery that includes the tallest mountains in the region, stretches of white sand that run unbroken for miles and the Caribbean's oldest and - some claim - most cosmopolitan city, Santo Domingo.
Yet, it's one of the Caribbean's more obscure locales, particularly among U.S. vacationers. At least that's been the case until recently, when the Dominican Republic's government began splashing its assets around the world in colorful television and print advertisements. Dominican officials seem determined to elevate the country's name on the list of Caribbean vacation spots.
Evidence of their work is already visible throughout the country. Visitor numbers are rising along with the construction of new resorts. There's also been an increase in visits by cruise ships to the ports of Santo Domingo, Puerto Plata and La Romana. Other improvements can be traced to the pursuit of tourism income: Many of the country's roads have been widened and paved, and historic areas in the major cities have been renovated.
