Dominican Republic receives flights bound for Mexico
The vice president of the hoteliers and restaurateurs grouped in Asonahores Friday said more than 50 flights with tourists who were headed to Mexico will arrive in the country this week, after the H1N1 virus that affects that nation prompted a change of destination. Arturo Villanueva said those flights are being received via an agreement with Mexican hoteliers, as a show of solidarity. He said all the necessary preventive measures have been taken across the country’s ports and airports and all necessary equipment have been acquired to gauge body temperatures. The hotelier also lauded president Leonel Fernandez’s decision to allocate 50 million pesos to purchase antiviral medicine. Villanueva said in addition to the measures the authorities have taken in hospitals and hotel zones, any person with an abnormal body temperature is subjected to an examination.
New Challenge
Since end of March I am no longer with Oasis Resorts & Hotels. I took a long vacation and must say that I never enjoyed live so much as in the past 3 months. Enjoyed our house, the apartment, the family and our garden. I went to the beach almost every day, sometimes early in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon or the evening, whenever i felt for it. Had great pleasure in cooking lunch and spoiling Amparo with some new creations, doing BBQs with friends, cooking some real German classics like roast pork with bread dumplings, sausages with sauerkraut or different stews. Now almost all ingredients are available here on the island, also German butcher shops or bakeries are offering great products .A wide variety of German and European beers are also on the market.
At the moment I am at a hotel in Juan Dolio doing a consulting job until the end of this month, checking menus, buffets and staff training, ordering new equipments and planning of some food outlets. I really enjoy doing that and it’s a new experience, August 15th I will start a new challenge at a hotel in Playa Dorada in Puerto Plata, more about that later.
Have a great weekend.
