Representative Adriano Espaillat Statement Following End of Tourist Tax Policy for Dominican Passengers Traveling to and from the Country. NEW YORK, NY – Today, Representative Adriano Espaillat (NY-13) released a statement following Dominican Republic President Luis Abinader’s announcement that the $10 Tourist Tax will no longer apply to Dominican passengers:
"I commend the President of the Dominican Republic, Luis Abinader, for listening to the Dominican diaspora and eliminating the $10 Tourist Tax for Dominican passengers traveling to and from the Dominican Republic,” said Rep. Espaillat. “Earlier this Congress, I joined Dominican-American policy experts in submitting recommendations from the community, and the elimination of the $10 tax was a key priority. I have long supported requests to eliminate this tax and recognize that this is a great win for the Dominican diaspora.
“Through my work in Congress, I have been a proponent of consumer protection, and earlier this year, I was successful in securing airline consumer refunds through the U.S. Department of Transportation for all travelers I vow to continue my efforts to help strengthen protections for consumers, including airfare price stabilization and other initiatives.” |
