The Judge is correct.
Tourism is determined to clean up the international image of the Dominican Republic vis a vis 3rd world customs that 1st world visitors find offensive - including, the reputation for rampant prostitution in Sosua - in order to make the place more inviting for a return to family tourism.
They are taking a regulatory approach, because they can.
Arriba Bar, Rancho Tipico (Toro) and the Haitian bar in the D'Pepe Plaza have all been closed in Cabarete, ostensibly for regulatory violations of some kind, but in reality they were closed because they provided sanctuary to women of the night (and day) in the very middle of town which is no longer acceptable to the powers that be (the new powers that be, the locals are pretty horrified at the loss of revenue).
The Haitians were kicked off the street in Cabarete after 8:30p (so I was told last night) and eight women spent the night in jail last night (reported to me by one of them, a known thief, who was begging me for food after getting out of jail this morning).
I'm told that a Zona Rosada is against the law for some reason even though that would seem to present a solution that might satisfy all sides.
It is interesting to speculate as to what Tourism's next steps may be to clean up the DR's bad reputation where men go to buy sexual services (with all due respect to the more enthusiastic members of ISOC) because there is an organized and energized group of ex-patriots on the North Coast working towards this end who may end up being pretty effective for a change.
I wouldn't put it past them to arrest a couple of foreign tourists for supporting prostitution, if only to make a splash of ink and bandwidth.

Cant those places just remain open as a hair salon? Take "massage" off the sign and keep the business up and running.

And for the girls and families that profit from prostitution what is it that they have to replace the money they make from the oldest profession.
Since they are not from Sosua, I guess they really dont care...

I haven't pulled the trigger on my ticket for August yet......my this is a gloomy thread.....and I will await events.
Re: We hear about 100 Suck Shacks/Massage Parlors were closed !
Relax...this is nothing new. It happens each year. Tourismo checks out your establishment...bar, restaurant or massage place and if you don't have a license you get shut down. They give you a five day notice to comply.
Re: We hear about 100 Suck Shacks/Massage Parlors were closed !
For those unaware on what has been going on with Tourismo for the past 3 weeks, I will get you up to speed.
Each year Tourismo comes into your establishment to sell you an operating license, at the same time they do a health and safety inspection...and then they write you up for changes needed....such as a cleaner kitchen. Last year they never came around, so we had no licenses to buy. About 3 weeks ago they came in to all establishments in Sosua and Cabarete, not sure about others towns, did their inspections and on their list was that we needed an up to date Tourismo license. When you skip a year you need to start the whole process over again. Pictures of your place, menu, staff blood tests, business license and it goes on and on....and oh yes....money!
All of this stuff takes time and needs to be submitted by yourself or a representative in Santo Domingo. This week Tourismo came back and gave everybody who didn't have a license a five day to comply order or they would be shut down. Every bar/restaurant owner that I know in Sosua and Cabarete has received the letter. We can all be shut down by next Tuesday in theory.
Tourismo are nothing but thieves and do nothing to help bring tourist to the area, they only pretend to.
So that is where we all stand.

I have never even stepped foot into Belkis, or any other suck shack in Sosua, EVER.
just not my thing, not in Sosua, up here in the Northeast, the AMPS and Russian Parlors, of course..
.. nothing against guys who enjoy them. I just dont buy plane tickets to go to a suck shack. I only got so many NUTS to spend,
and and my age there are no "nuisance nuts", every nut is a GOOD nut.:bj1:
.
... irrelevant to the topic though..
and thanks for alerting us to this NEWS...

Re: We hear about 100 Suck Shacks/Massage Parlors were closed !

I find that extremely funny. It's their town. If your neighbor wants to paint his house a different color, do you blow a gasket? NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE...:rofl:
