The Dominican Republic is a country
located on the eastern two-thirds of the Caribbean island of
Hispaniola, bordering Haiti. Hispaniola is the second-largest of
the Greater Antilles islands, and lies west of Puerto Rico and
east of Cuba and Jamaica. The Dominican Republic is not to be
confused with Dominica, another Caribbean country. Once dependent
on the export of sugar and other agricultural products, the DR
has become the most popular tourist destination in the Caribbean.
Tourism, and free-trade zones, have become major employers and
key sources of revenue.
