Santo Domingo Hotels Association president Roberto Henriquez is confident that efforts will soon be made to restore the Malecon to its former glory. The Malecon is the 14-km seafront boulevard that links the west and eastern ends of Santo Domingo. It recently was voted one of the city's seven leading tangible cultural heritage attractions.
Henriquez reported that a meeting held yesterday with the Santo Domingo city government had produced positive commitments. He said the Ministry of Tourism has taken responsibility for the Malecon and the Colonial City to restore them to their rightful place as leading attractions in the city. "Instructions were given and we should see the results in the next few days," says Henriquez. Actions will be taken to improve the lighting, security and harassment by prostitutes on the main streets.
