Dominican Republic is a safe country and statistics show it

Alarming news has appeared in some Media about the deaths of some American citizens in the Dominican Republic. What at first seemed like unnatural deaths, have turned out to be after medical examinations: heart attack; septic shock; pneumonia…


This news, with distorted and exaggerated information of reality, has created a crisis in the tourism sector of the Dominican Republic, a pillar of the economy of that Caribbean country that employs 300,000 people.
Statistics show that you are more likely to be killed in a homicide at home in the United States than to die from unnatural causes in the Dominican Republic.


More than 2 million American tourists visited the Dominican Republic in each of the last two years and despite a 7.9% increase in US visitors. Between 2017 and 2018, the number of unnatural deaths has decreased since 2015, according to statistics from the US State Department.
Seven Americans have died in the Dominican Republic this year for unnatural causes, which fell from 15 reported in June 2011 and 2015, according to NBC News.

 


Unnatural deaths include drowning, homicides and vehicle accidents, the latter being the main cause of unnatural death among Americans in the Dominican Republic in automobile accidents, according to statistics from the State Department from 2014 to 2018.


In the United States there is a much higher homicide rate.
The chances of an American dying from homicide in the Dominican Republic (0.19 per 100,000 in 2017) are much lower than the probability of dying in a homicide in his country.


The last death of the United States in the Dominican Republic was due to heart failure, according to an official.
As of 2017, the rate of homicides, homicides, and non-negligent homicides in the United States was 5.3 per 100,000, according to the Pew Research Center, citing FBI data.


In some US cities The homicide rate is significantly higher: approximately 66 per 100,000 people in St. Louis, 56 per 100,000 in Baltimore, 40 per 100,000 in Detroit and 40 per 100,000 in New Orleans.
Other destinations in the Caribbean have higher unnatural death rates, such as Jamaica and the Bahamas, but also the unnatural death rate among Americans is less than the probability of dying in a homicide in their country, the United States.

Travel Tips to visit Bavaro – Punta Cana in Dominican Republic

Travel Tips:

BAVARO - PUNTA CANA

The Dominican Republic is a country with a privileged climate and environment. If you are thinking of coming to Bavaro – Punta Cana, we suggest you to have some things in mind to make your trip much better:

 

Be prepared for the arrival. Take all the documents with you and have a vehicle waiting for you to take you from the airport to the hotel. After a long trip you will want to arrive as soon as possible and safely and comfortably at your destination.

Try to speak the language. This is something that everyone should always try to do. More often than not, people will appreciate you trying to communicate in the local language, and we think the staff and others you interact with would treat you better because of this.

Always Tip. Take lots of cash for tipping with you. If you talk to any employee at your resort, you will learn that they work long hours and goes days without seeing their family. The staff will be very kind with you, so you will be more than happy to tip.

Protect your skin and body. You should take good care of your skin. Take lots of sunscreen and bug spray and use them often not to suffer sun burns and insect stings… Apply it religiously. . . especially if you’re doing nature activities.

Do you need shuttle? You can directly book your transport services with us >

Professional and reliable transportation services in affordable prices. 

Bring a medicine cabinet. We advise you to bring: ibuprofen, antihistamines, Betadine, bandages and special medicines for your own needs. At some point during the trip you may need them.

Get off the resort. there are some cool excursions, and even just outside of the resort will help you to see a little more of the island. Your trip will not be the same if you stay at your resort the whole trip.

Eat out of the resort some day. To know a country, in addition to its culture and its people, you have to try their food. There is nothing better than eating at a beach bar on a paradisiac beach away from tourism.

Punta Cana is the crown jewel of Caribbean beach destinations in Dominican Republic and never disappoint. A seemingly endless list of resorts offers all-inclusive luxury alongside affordable options to suit any type of traveler, with hotels ranging from family-friendly to opulent.

Important Things to Ask When Checking Into a Punta Cana All-Inclusive Resort

Things to Ask When Checking

Into a Punta Cana All-Inclusive Resort

Seasoned travelers with more than a few all-inclusive stays under their belt know that quality can vary from resort to resort. Take Punta Cana, a gorgeous stretch of prime beaches and plenty of all-inclusive properties. While many of the resorts here have similar concepts and designs, differences tend to sneak up that may not be communicated during the booking process. And the bigger the resort, the harder it may be to snag a staff member to chat with, especially with substantial lines at the front desk. That’s why the check-in process is the best opportunity to get things straight.

Dominican Republic is the perfect destination to suit any traveler.

1. Do we need to make reservations for the restaurants (and is there a dress code?)

Nothing is more frustrating than being told you can’t get a table at an all-inclusive resort’s restaurant because you don’t have a reservation. Many high-end resorts, which features nine gourmet restaurants, don’t require dinner reservations, but not all operate the same way. Some resorts not only make reservations mandatory, but demand a strict morning time for bookings. Oh! And remember, ask if there’s a dress code, too.

 

2. What’s the entertainment schedule?

Getting a schedule of the resort’s nightlife and entertainment options when checking in isn’t always a guarantee. If this is a key part of your experience, ask the front desk for a rundown of what’s happening that week. It also doesn’t hurt to ask their opinion on what the best shows are.

 

3. Which water sports and day trips are included?

Most mid-range tropical all-inclusive resorts will include non-motorized water sports (think kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and snorkeling) with the rate. Some, however, still charge an obnoxious fee or require strict time limits to an hour per day, or worse, per week.

If you plan to visit an all-inclusive resort in DR, you can directly book your shuttle services with us >

Professional and reliable transportation services to affordable prices. 

4. What’s the tipping policy?

Not only is this a key area of difference between cultures, it’s also an area of variance between resorts. Some all-inclusives automatically add a 10 percent (or more) service charge with the rate, so ask the front desk while checking in. Unfortunately, many of the folks who work at these resorts are paid a very low wage and depend on tips for income.

 

5. Are minibar items and room service free?

It’s worth asking. At the very least, many rooms have free bottled water. Some even offer full minibar access with free soda, beer, and snacks; coffeemakers are also provided.

 

6. Is there an upgrade option?

Depending on the resort, availability, and time of year, an upgrade can be obtained for a nominal fee. Find out from the front desk what the options and benefits are of moving up.
