The number of Dominican expatriates traveling home declined by 8.1% in January 2008, compared to travel during the same period the previous year. The decline in return visits could be as a result of the housing and fiscal troubles in the US. During the first month of the year, 38,074 non-resident Dominicans visited the country, compared to 41,389 who visited in January 2007. In January 2006 39,995 non-resident Dominicans visited the DR while 39,914 visited in January 2005. The number of Dominicans traveling abroad also decreased, by 0.75%, after only 39,415 Dominicans traveled in 2007 compared to 39,713 in January 2006.
