I'm and US born Dominican. I moved to Puerto Plata last year and can't wait for this to be completed! It will bring so many jobs to the locals. This is amazing! 🎉🎉
If you’re Dominican especially living in the US or a descendent, please please invest in DR. Don’t let other people, especially corporations from other countries who aren’t going to take care of DR buy up all the land only to abandon it letting it sit as an empty timeshare or to leave it to diie as an empty lot. If the government is going to let randos buy up the land, we need to at least be the majority shareholders. I say this out of love. Con mucho cariño from NYC!😅
So glad I found your channel, as a young Dominican woman idk much about my home country but I am so proud of the advancement and increasing potential of it. I am hoping to be able to invest and have my own little corner there 🙏🏽
I have family from there and my uncle was the mayor of Montellano at one point. They views and the scenery from the hills in that area is amazing. If anyone has been to la Catalina you get a good glimpse of they view.
Awesome video; very informative, detailed and interesting; you are a very talented and articulated young lady. Que viva la República Dominicana; keep it up and good luck to you. ❤😊
I live in and was raised in Jersey but have always kept in touch with D.R. I bought 2 condos in Punta Cana cause its booming BUT I have always loved the flavor of Puerto Plata and surrounding areas. It's not a bubble like Punta Cana and it has more of a Dominican vibe. I'm considering buying my 3rd condo in that area and now hearing about Bergantin may further push me in that direction. Thank you, "I'm Purely Walking" forward......joke
I think Punta Bergantín is an awesome project. Kudos to the DR government and investors like Vin Diesel for their vision! I predict much success 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
@@PurelyWalking I am moving around getting a feel of various places. Currently we are in Santo Domingo. I would be nice to meet you with you as you have guided me so well on my journey.
0:51 Playa Sosua. I was very surprised to see the old Sand Castle resort at 1:44, we stayed here in 1995, and it was incredibly beautiful! I had heard it changed names and then has been abandoned for over 20yrs 😢
I was born in puerto plata, raised in the USA. The ports are out of control. It hurts the resorts, because you only get visitors that don’t want to spend money or time. Better to build resorts. This is why punta Cana is booming. Puerto plata is in a bubble it’s being over developed and the prices are too high. Very unsustainable. Will really hurt the locals since most work at resorts. You can tell by the emptied airports and beaches. More resorts needed, higher quality not more ports.
Puerto plata has more to offer than punta cana. Puerto plata has it all and it will recover again because Puerto plata is the mother and founder of tourism in DR😎🙌
DR is booming soon my project is done am spending more time in my property my advice to most Dominican living in other countries to start investing now before is too late is going to be the next Hawaii trust me I have 8 acres and planning to invest in 8 more next to my.
I was aware that the Mark Wahlberg movie was filmed in DR, but I didn't know the other two films were also shot there. This is great news, as increased exposure can lead to more investment in the country.
Sounds very interesting...I'm in Puerto Plata right now and would like to see what's going on in this area because I'm looking to rent and/or buy a small villa here. Is it possible for you to give me a tour. This is my 1st time in D.R. and I'll be here 4 more days. I've got to find a Dominican sim card today but until then I can D.M. you with my whatsapp and google voice. Please let me know. Love your videos BTW. Jay
well I am a member of the Kingsley Family who owned that land and still there are lots of land that have not being sold to no body and we have the tittle property,so how are they building there without sort that out ??? I grew up there .
@lrbolotin1227 Well they can't hire Haitians unless they have Dominican ID cards or nonexpired visas. The question is will there be enough Dominicans that want to work hotel/resort jobs and schedules. Unfortunately many prefer the easy life or would rather beg foreigners online who they've never met to send them money. Sad but true!! 😓🤷♂️
Ughhh yessss, so sad. Some Dominicans are offered low end Jobs in the USA and take them in a heartbeat, doing the same thing they wouldnt be caught dead doing in the DR.
This is all nice but in no areas of the island are they inprovibg infrastructure, streets, highways, sewer, fresh water, electricity, waste management, etc but bringing in millions of people.
In my opinion if they fix the DR they'll ruin it. It's loved the way it is now by Dominicans like me and foreigners like it is now. With Modernization everyone loses except corporations
it seems like a good idea to also create jobs which i hope it's unlimited employments.But why do they need to built another golf course for when Donald Trump already has one
@@XloMotion The jobs created will push the native population away due to skyrocketing increases in property value and cost of living. This is how they push out the native population out by pricing them out .
Not necessarily. The native population will benefit from job opportunities and there are plenty of Dominicans that will also invest, just like in Punta Cana
@@PurelyWalking because once America is involved expect gentrification and and the corruption of the national recourse laws with the government as well as economic interests that will benefit them before anyone else, our history speaks for itself, me as an American know our history. DR don’t fall asleep

Yesssss
💯 x1000000, let's build and develop our country.
You right but unfortunately Money talks and you know what walks 😢…
Super excited, Puerto Plata in the 70s was the best destination. Looking forward for this new project.
Me too!!
Puerto plata is the mother and founder of tourism in DR 😎🙌
Yes this it’s super exciting news. The North coast really need this development. I hope it will come to reality 🤞
Hope so too!
Vin Diesel has always shared his love for DR, so cool to see him doing this!

Will do!

The government needs to start improving on the infrastructure. This country has a huge potential
He have improve it.
They have improved, but alot of the money gets stolen.
Saludos cordiales y muchas bendiciones para ti desde República Dominicana
Graciasss

Yessss me too! My expectations are So high!!
Thanks for all your videos, you kindled the fire in me to move to the DR and I am here!
Omg thats so awesomeeee to hear!!!! What part of DR are you living in?! I wanna know all about it!

Shout Out from CHI-TOWN CHICAGO, USA! Thanks for sharing this very informative and enlightening podcast! AMEN-ASE!
Thank YOU for watching, share the video with friends or family!
"Silicon Beach"....nice ring to it!!
Yesssss I love the name
Looks like Puerta Plata needs to be where I sets up our Consultation Office!
Definitely sounds like a great option

@@antoniotula262 yes, sadly
Good English my hommy. A good Dominican touch...a Domic-English (FYI, this is new term)
Lol thanks
Also is going to be another fruisa there too.
what is Fruisa?
@@PurelyWalking like friusa puta cana full of Haitians
@@PurelyWalking they took over las terras and soon is going to be the South where they building the tourist project in Perdenales o Barahona.
...what he really means...another haitian ghetto 😅

That's why Punta Bergantín is super exciting, there will be plenty of resorts, hotels and rental homes
Puerto plata has more to offer than punta cana. Puerto plata has it all and it will recover again because Puerto plata is the mother and founder of tourism in DR😎🙌
@@Vamo_Alla yesssss Puerto Plata is the OG tourism spot in the DR
DR is booming soon my project is done am spending more time in my property my advice to most Dominican living in other countries to start investing now before is too late is going to be the next Hawaii trust me I have 8 acres and planning to invest in 8 more next to my.
Yesss invest in DR! Things are booming over here
That’s horrible sounds like they going to exploit the natural resources
We are already there!
Siempre, Dominicanos para los Dominicanos!
Remember we already have lantica media( pinewood studios before) in Juan dolio, so it’s not the first studio
It will be the first film studio in the north coast, not the first in DR.
The first in the North Coast of DR
I was aware that the Mark Wahlberg movie was filmed in DR, but I didn't know the other two films were also shot there. This is great news, as increased exposure can lead to more investment in the country.
Definitely!! These are awesomeeee news, I am over the moon excited with this project
Tengo una pregunta, van a construir algun puerto para recibir cruceros?
En Bergantín no se han anunciado puertos, ya que hay dos en el mismo pueblo de Puerto Plata
Un puerto para yates
Very ambitious project, but with enough backing from the government and investors alike it’ll definitely be a success.
Sounds very interesting...I'm in Puerto Plata right now and would like to see what's going on in this area because I'm looking to rent and/or buy a small villa here.

Vin Diesel wearing a mask? sound strange for inside DR
That was back when mask mandates were in place
well I am a member of the Kingsley Family who owned that land and still there are lots of land that have not being sold to no body and we have the tittle property,so how are they building there without sort that out ??? I grew up there .
Great opportunities for those who want to work LEGITIMATE jobs.
That's right!
Hopefully they hire DOMINICANS!
@@lrbolotin1227 I hope so too!!!

Rumor has it Vin Diesel biological father is Dominican, but he keeps it a secret
Not a very good secret, obviously.
This is all nice but in no areas of the island are they inprovibg infrastructure, streets, highways, sewer, fresh water, electricity, waste management, etc but bringing in millions of people.
brigantine = bergantín
Wow thanks!
In my opinion if they fix the DR they'll ruin it. It's loved the way it is now by Dominicans like me and foreigners like it is now. With Modernization everyone loses except corporations
Not always. And as much industrialization we get over here, remember that culture permiates
You are mostly right, but there will be opportunities for local and small Investors to buy lots too. So be one of us that do so.
Culture is changing. The youth and social media is changing @PurelyWalking
it seems like a good idea to also create jobs which i hope it's unlimited employments.But why do they need to built another golf course for when Donald Trump already has one
Golf lovers can never have enough golf courses!
The Trump golf course is like 5hrs away in the east point of Punta Cana.
I would be skeptical about this move .The natives of this area will be pushed out and they will steal the land .
The land is already owned by Banco de Reservas so there should be no one living there
The land has been state owned for decades. How about the jobs that's getting created? The money coming back to Puerto plata?
@@XloMotion The jobs created will push the native population away due to skyrocketing increases in property value and cost of living. This is how they push out the native population out by pricing them out .
Not necessarily. The native population will benefit from job opportunities and there are plenty of Dominicans that will also invest, just like in Punta Cana
The beginning of the downfall of the DR
Why?
@@PurelyWalking because once America is involved expect gentrification and and the corruption of the national recourse laws with the government as well as economic interests that will benefit them before anyone else, our history speaks for itself, me as an American know our history. DR don’t fall asleep
So what?
So more employment, more development, more opportunities, more growth, which all sums up to better quality of life for Dominicans
So what? so swallow it palomo!!!!
So what? So wait for it palomon!!
