About Sosúa
The area enjoys an average temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and an annual rainfall of 1,815.7 mm/m2.
The coastal zone of surrounding Puerto Plata Province has vast extensions of land with areas of white sand beaches which the Dominican government has declared exclusively for tourist development.
The neighborhood of Hotel Coralillo boasts shopping centers, restaurants, car rentals, gift shops, local tour operators, many owned and operated by Europeans, as well as Canadians.
Sosúa is one of the most developed tourist areas in the Dominican Republic, offering essential infrastructural services: potable water, electricity, telephone, asphalt streets, and inter-city public transportation. It is located 10 minutes from Puerto Plata International Airport.
The community, originally known as El Batey, was settled in the 1940s by German Jews fleeing Nazi persecution. Hotel Coralillo was opened in 1981 by Thomas Philipp who immigrated from Germany in 1939 to the Dominican Republic. While Sosúa has in recent years attracted others from all over Europe, North America and elsewhere, the town continues to boast a large and growing population of German-speaking residents, merchants, and hotel and tourist operators. Germans continue to make up the largest percentage of vacationers, although Sosúa attracts a wide cross-section of others from Europe and North America.
Information about owning businesses in the Dominican Republic is available in two publications: Secretariat of State of Foreign Affairs - "Foreigner's Guide to the Dominican Republic", and Federation of European Chambers of Commerce in the Dominican Republic - "Doing Business in the Dominican Republic."
