Why the Dominican Republic should be your next travel destination

Image
 The Dominican Republic is one of the countries that shares the island( Haiti is the other country) called Hispaniola, which was originally named Ayiti. Christopher Columbus claimed the island during his voyage. The Dominican Republic today is the second largest Caribbean island and the second largest population with 10 million people over 48,445 square kilometers. Spain used the Dominican Republic for plantations, which in turn brought slaves to the island for labor. Ever since slavery has ended the Dominican Republic has relied on tourism, and agricultural resources for their economy.   Along the north coast of the Dominican Republic is a very pretty beach, with golden sand and lined with highly rated resorts known as Playa Dorada.

It was claimed by the Spanish in 1499 and, because of its lack of natural resources suitable for trade, Aruba, along with Bonaire and Curacao, was considered part of the Islas Inutiles (Useless Islands). The island was finally used for cattle raising and wood cutting. The arrival of the oil industry modernized the island during the 1920s and raised the standard of living significantly. This generated thousands of jobs, particularly at the height of World War II, when gasoline was in high demand, with the Lago Oil and Transport Company on the east end and The Eagle Oil Refining Company on the west. Aruba started to concentrate on tourism to bolster the island's economy as the war came to a close.
