The aspiration for the country’s growth is not exclusive to the authorities. Many Dominicans dream of seeing their nation thrive, but sometimes, perhaps unconsciously, they sabotage or hinder that progress. This situation often arises when Dominicans themselves do not believe in or support local initiatives. Even worse, they discourage those genuinely interested in contributing to this development. Foreigners have expressed interest in purchasing properties in the country, attracted by its beauty. However, some Dominicans dissuade them due to concerns about crime and safety. While crime is an issue, there are countless hardworking, honest, and kind individuals who represent the true Dominican spirit. Instead of focusing on the negatives, why not adopt a more constructive attitude? By offering safe recommendations and promoting positive experiences, both locals and visitors can benefit. Encouraging open and optimistic dialogue will enrich tourists’ experiences and strengthen relationships between Dominicans and foreigners.
