Costa Rican officials will be heading to the DR in order to reach an accord aimed at reducing the number of Dominican prostitutes working in their country. Diario Libre writes that Dominican prostitutes have overtaken Colombian prostitutes as the majority in this illicit business sector. Diario Libre reports that last weekend, during raids carried out in the Costa Rican towns of Jaco and Quepo, 24 Dominican women were arrested for prostitution, including a former police officer and a former teacher. The teacher said that she had entered prostitution because of her low pay. Costa Rican Migration Chief Francisco Castaing explained that 98% of the prostitutes who have been arrested during raids are Dominican. Castaing is planning on visiting the DR on 27 November in order to discuss the issue with the Dominican authorities.
Dominicans do not need a visa to travel to Costa Rica.
