Dominican Republic regains popularity with overseas property investors PDF Print E-mail
Written by DRListings Team   
Monday, 14 December 2009

During 2008 rapidly rising tourism and low property prices made the Dominican Republic one of the most popular destinations among the new wave of overseas property investor, and holiday home investor.

Like many markets around the world there has hardly been a peep about Dominican Republic property this year -- that is, until now.

The massive American hotel chain Hard Rock Hotel has just announced a massive investment in the Dominican Republic, which will see the construction of a multi-million dollar resort and hotel complex.

This really proves the points that the financial downturn has not stopped people from taking holidays abroad, and that tighter belts can actually boost the destinations that offer the best value for the holiday buck -- like the Dominican Republic. It's not like Hard Rock grew into such a huge corporation by sticking a pin in a map, of course the thousands it spent on research showed that growth in tourism to the Dominican Republic has not stopped this year.

Demand for overseas property has been increasing since April this year, and the Caribbean has been one of the biggest benefactors of the growth. This is because those currently buying are predominantly wealthy lifestyle buyers. However, as the recovery strengthens overseas investment is also beginning to increase, and places like the Dominican Republic will regain their positions as favourite locations.

Last year saw the Caribbean Isla Margarita knock Dominican Republic off the top spot of offering the cheapest property in the Caribbean. This didn't last long and Dominican Republic regained its position just months later.

Property prices haven't dropped in the Caribbean the way they have here, but the landscape has changed. None the less Dominican Republic Real Estate will still be among the lowest priced in the Caribbean.

Earthquake in Hati Dominican Republic

Latest live reports on CNN state that there is great devastation is to PORT AU PRINCE, HAITI'S capital, where a multitude of buildings, homes and structures have collapsed and survivors are being dug from the wreckage.

Tsunami watch for Dominican Republic, Cuba and the Bahamas has been lifted and no longer in effect.

Though most areas of Dominican Republic felt no tremors or aftershocks, residents of the Dominican Republic are urged to stay tuned to local news outlets to be informed of any new developments. 

Hati's call for assistance and disaster relief has already been answered by United Sates President Barack Obama.  He has promised to come to the aid of this ravaged and poor nation that has seen some trying times.  Our hearts and prayers are with the Haitian people.

The United States, France, Canada and governments across Latin America have pledged thousands of dollars in aid and assistance for Haiti after a massive 7.0 magnitude earthquake devastated the country and caused mass casualties.

As the first eyewitness reports confirmed that hundreds, if not thousands were dead or buried under the rubble, after the quake hit just 10miles (16 km) from the capital, Port-au-Prince.

U.S President Barack Obama was the first to offer help to the stricken country. His government, he said, stood "ready to assist the people of Haiti," as the State Department, USAID and United States Southern Command mobilised, "to coordinate an assessment and any such assistance."

In Paris, Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said France "expresses its complete solidarity" with Haiti, adding that his ministry's crisis center had begun working "to mobilise and dispatch without delay urgent aid to Port-au-Prince."

Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon said Canadian officials "are making contact with trusted humanitarian partners with a presence in the region to identify humanitarian needs resulting from this earthquake."

Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said he was "very concerned" with the situation in Haiti, including the fate of 1,200 Brazilian members of the 9,000-strong UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), which Brazil leads. The UN headquarters has been levelled in the quake, with unknown numbers of UN personnel buried under the rubble.

In Bogota, the president's office said Colombia was "under alert and ready to respond to the Haitian authorities' call for help," adding that the defence ministry and emergency management services were coordinating upcoming assistance efforts.

Venezuela said it would send a 50-member "humanitarian assistance team" to Haiti in the next few hours. Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro said the team would leave for Port-au-Prince early today bearing food and medical supplies for stricken Haitians.

Mr Maduro also said he has been unable to contact Venezuela's ambassador to Haiti or Haitian authorities since the earthquake struck.

In Panama, the country's Vice President Juan Carlos Varela pledged that his government would provide assistance to the United Nations's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

Mr Varela pledged to provide "all the infrastructure required for the logistical coordination of cooperation that should be sent to this brother country."

Peru said its 205 peacekeeping troops in MINUSTAH would help in rescue efforts in Haiti, adding that none of their soldiers was injured in the quake.

"The military personnel has nothing to report and will lend support to the quake victims to the best of their abilities," Peru's Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement.

Mexico's foreign ministry said it was keeping close watch on Haiti and had "activated a protection plan for Mexicans facing an emergency" in Haiti.

In the Dominican Republic, which shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti, President Leonel Fernandez called on the international community to help Haiti overcome a "real tragedy." He said his government was at the ready to send assistance.

A government spokesman said a Dominican Air Force plane was ready to pick up quake victims and that it was sending a team of sniffer dogs to search for victims in the rubble.
