It certainly would be easily possible. Imo.
I'd like to know if any employees were working at all of the affected resorts during the times in question. Those who may have been fired at one then was hired by another one?
Did they resent tourists from other countries coming to enjoy everything when the employee/s couldn't ever afford such luxury?
Another thing I don't understand is how they are legally able to use trademark liquor bottles to put their own bootlegged liquor in?
Doesn't the DR have any rules or regulations governing something like this from happening?
Can the name brand liquor companies sue them? It is such a deception trying to make the tourists believe they are getting top brand expensive liquor when its really rot gut liquor instead.
The DR deserves every bit of negative publicity they are receiving.
Hitting them in the pocket where it hurts is the only thing that will bring about change.
It seems all they really care about is the almighty dollar anyway, and the safety, and wellbeing of the tourists be damned.
Jmho
Touri$t$ are $een as dollar$ everywhere. They are great sources of income in many ways. Tourists get traffic tickets because they present no hassle. Just income. They don’t often know parking rules.
I have always lived in the US and in foreign countries where tourism is the main source of income. People try to make some money. Think of all of the attractions such as rides that have had issues of safety in the US.Think of the exposes of the cleanliness of hotel rooms in the US or how often planes are cleaned.
Or even in the US the expose of food in the grocery store. Or of bartenders switching the expensive liquor to the cheaper as a customer gets drunk.
