The main industry here in the DR is Tourism but the second biggest source of income is remittences! Dominicans living abroad send a LOT of money back to their families monthly and this is the second source of foreign exchange after Tourism |

The Dominican Republic is a lower-middle income developing country primarily dependent on agriculture, trade, and services, especially tourism. Although the service sector has recently overtaken agriculture as the leading employer of Dominicans (due principally to growth in tourism and Free Trade Zones), agriculture remains the most important sector in terms of domestic consumption and is in second place (behind mining) in terms of export earnings. Tourism accounts for more than $1 billion in annual earnings. Free Trade Zone earnings and tourism are the fastest-growing export sectors. According to a 1999 International Monetary Fund report, remittances from Dominican Americans, are estimated to be about $1.5 billion per year. Most of these funds are used to cover basic household needs such as shelter, food, clothing, health care and education. Secondarily, remittances have financed small businesses and other productive activities. |

Tourism. The Dominican is a very poor country. They do have sugar cane fields as well. Most of the people survive on tourism though. |
