Former US President, Bill Clinton, said the Dominican Republic is a safe tourist destination and called on the citizens of his nation to visit the Caribbean country without fear.
According to a statement, Clinton said he has always felt safe in the Dominican Republic, because the nation is «well managed» and people involved in the tourism industry do a good job.
The American ex-president spoke during a visit to Playa Grande Golf & Ocean Club, in Rio San Juan in the east of the country, where he went to play golf.
«I think everyone already knows that I love the Dominican Republic, I had never been here (Rio San Juan) before, but I have played golf in other parts of the country and this course is really beautiful,» Clinton said.
He said the country is on its way to recovery after the impasse that occurred in the middle of last year. He was emphatic in affirming that the Dominican Republic “is a great place and everyone should know it”.
He knew everything would be clarified. Bill Clinton said that he came soon after the first controversy regarding Dominican tourism, because he was confident that once the autopsy results on the tourists who died in the country came out, everything would be clarified.
«The ranking indicates that there are 58 countries in the world that are less safe for American tourists and that was precisely what the results showed,» said the former US president.
The former president of the United States said “Quisqueya” is a “marvelous place“ for golf, with excellent golf courses, and a geographical diversity in the various places.
