The tax authorities (la Dirección General de Impuestos Internos DGII) have come up with the proposal to increase the tourist card to US $ 30, the $ 10 to be paid upon arrival and departure at the airport will be forfeited.
Welcome to Puerto Plata
But when leaving the country US $ 30 must be paid which means that the tourist card will be US $ 10 more expensive at the end.
The tourism industry has made a massive protest against this proposal.
Tickets have recently become much more expensive and with this increase, the Dominican Republic becomes again more expensive.
