This is great news. Dominican Republic demonstrates that even emerging markets can also build green and help aid the fight against Global Warming.

Yeah, it's one of the first few along with some other 'green' projects in two other places in the Caribbean (Puerto Rico and Curacao).

Actually there are many Caribbean islands going green, not only DR, PR and Curacao. Many existing hotels on the islands are going green as well.

Nevertheless this is good news for DR.
