Looks like I came late to the party, no bueno.
I don't however see any pratical way they will be enforcing this crackdown. I doubt they have the manpower, or capabilities to enforce sting operations, so how will they exactly go about this. Will they just camp outside of bars, and other public places, wait for two seemingly strangers to converse, and once they leave together pounce, and arrest a member said party? Because if their hope is to rid the DR's image as a sex tourism spot, they're going to go above, and beyond the call of duty, and just label the island as a spot no one should travel to for fear of being arrested for banal reasons.
If they do however carry out a successful crackdown on places like Sosua (which I doubt they'll make it happen.) I wonder how many mongers will continue carrying about their quest for carnal pleasures in the DR, and how many will just jump ship all together. It seems Sosua caters for the point, and click monger. The dudes who want available pussy in their face 24/7, and don't need to know more than a handful of words in Spanish. How many will uproot, and start mongering in places like
SDQ, and
STI (assuming it's still going to be a cake walk in those places), and how many will just move on to another monger friendly destination?
I"m glad this won't affect me to much in the way I carry about my business, for obvious reasons, but I will now without a doubt be more discreet, and careful about the way I do go about my leisurely activities, I rather be safe, than sorry.
