6 American tourists died in the Dominican Republic: what is happening at the resort now?

The green area in the Grand Bahia Principe resort seems half empty. Dozens of free tables surround the restaurant. Along the pool are scattered free chairs. The hotel has more 400 rooms available. Only a small group of 30 people relaxing on a private beach.

Two of the six American tourists who mysteriously died on the Caribbean island last year died at the Grand Bahia Princip - a fact that has not gone unnoticed among potential clients since the news broke last week. However, that hasn't stopped some people - especially those who paid in advance.

"We were going to cancel our trip," said Noemi Morales, a 67-year-old retiree from Texas who booked her trip months before news of the tourists' deaths. She came here to celebrate her 50th birthday with her husband, his sister and a friend.

“We couldn’t get the money back, so I insisted we come,” she continued.

The Dominican Republic - a country of azure waters and white sand beaches that attracts more American visitors than France - is suddenly faced with a potentially devastating problem.

“Unfortunately, unrelated incidents coincided in time,” said Andre Van Der Horst, tourism adviser to the Dominican Republic government.

“We are not used to this type of viral communications attack and are working with crisis management specialists to develop response protocols,” he added, referring to the rapid spread of information through social media.

Since 30 in May found a dead couple from Maryland at the resort, the country and its tourism industry have experienced an Internet negative storm.

An autopsy revealed that 63-year-old Nathaniel Edward Holmes from Temple Hills and 49-year-old Cynthia Ann Day from Upper Marlborough died after their lungs were filled with fluid, which led to respiratory failure, according to the national police.

There are also four similar deaths in nearby hotels. In addition, a growing number of complaints from people who say that they suddenly became ill.

One website that collects food poisoning complaints from around the world, iwaspoisoned.com, now has dozens of reports from people claiming nausea and vomiting after staying at local hotels.

Negative to the press poured news about the injury of the legend of the Boston Red Sox, David Ortiz. The incident happened on Sunday evening in an open restaurant and bar in the capital Santo Domingo. The former superior league slugger, a native of the Dominican Republic, was taken to Boston for further treatment, where he was in a stable condition. Local police say they have arrested one of two alleged attackers.

Returning to the death case, local authorities say that tourists died of natural causes, and there is no evidence of a trend. The State Department did not issue a travel warning. At the request of local investigators, the FBI helps with toxicology reports. Results may take up to 30 days.

Approximately 2,7 million Americans visit the Dominican Republic annually, which is 47 percent of all tourists. In general, tourism directly and indirectly accounts for almost 22 percent of the island's economy.

In San Pedro de Macoris, where many hotel workers live, is unhappy with publications in the American press. Residents are afraid that they can damage the economy.

June is traditionally one of the most unpopular months among tourists. But hotel officials admitted that they received "more cancellations than usual."
