Safety

The Dominican Republic is generally a safe country. Although the major cities of Santo Domingo and Santiago have experienced the growth of a booming middle class, the prosperity of the construction industry and a high degree of cosmopolitanism, the Dominican Republic is still a third world country and poverty is still rampant, so you need to take common-sense prevention measure:

Try to avoid being alone in the city, as robbery is common. Even in the capital of Santo Domingo, few streets are lit up after dark. Those that are lit will be affected by daily power outages. Wild dogs are common throughout the country, but people are basically ignored (feeding these dogs is not recommended because it may lead to aggressive behavior). Western tourists should wear casual clothes and take off their rings and other jewelry when they are away from tourist destinations, but ordinary tourist destinations, especially the more expensive and luxurious hotels and areas, are very safe. Sex tourism is popular in the country’s Puerto Plata province, so you may be troubled by young men and women trying to provide you with “services”. A firm "no" is enough. The age of consent is 18, and tourists who have sex with minors may also be prosecuted by their home countries. There is no law stipulating that you can drink the most alcohol before driving. However, for professional drivers, there is a 0.05% limit. Watch out for vehicles, especially in the middle of the night, because at that time, the driver is much more likely to be drunk. It is illegal for tourists and tourists to drive under the influence of alcohol. Otherwise, you may be punished for doing so. The professionalism of the national police is a bit questionable. In order to protect tourism revenue, the government has established a political or "tourist police" for the safety of foreign tourists. If you encounter any problems, travelers should contact this agency because they will receive a more positive response than the national police.
