According to Airport Department head Andres Vanderhorst, local authorities are expecting at least 100,000 overseas-based Dominicans to return for the Christmas holidays. Vanderhorst commented that the government had increased customs facilities to encourage more visitors this year. A full 7% increase is expected over last year's numbers. The airport official said that he and his team was working closely with the Armed Forces, the Police and the Airport Security Force to guarantee the safety of all the passengers arriving for the holidays.
