According to the ministry of tourism for the region, visitor arrivals to the Dominican Republic increased to over 2 million from January through to June, up 6.6% from 2007.
This is not surprising when so much investment is being poured into the infrastructure to improve airports, telecommunications, and tourism structures. The image of the Dominican Republic is changing for the better, drawing more and more travellers – and you heard it from the MRI team first!

Now is a good time to buy in Cyprus
According to experts, Cyprus currently offers some of the most promising property growth in Europe. Says property portal France24, the island has continued the property boom in the wake of its adoption of the euro in January 2008 – and accession to the EU has worked wonders in enhancing Cyprus’s reputation as a place with a strong investors’ market with great potential.
Many people are attracted to the island by its similarities with the UK – English is widely spoken, driving is on the left-hand side, and even the plug sockets are the same as those in the UK. These familiarities factor very strongly in the decisions of individuals to relocate to Cyprus and are a big enticement for Britons looking to invest.
Experts believe that rental rates are on the rise and interest in holiday lets will remain strong in the upcoming years.

Punta Cana – a golfing paradise
Golfweek Magazine, a publication focusing on the Dominican Republic, successfully highlights the growth and importance of golf in the region – a sport which has had a huge effect on the Dominican Republic property market (property prices are steadily climbing on an average of 20 to 30% a year, and experts expect this trend to continue for at least the next 10 years).
The target market for golfing holidays and resorts in the Dominican Republic is ever-expanding, incorporating the US, Europe, Canada and South America. With legendary designers such as Tom Marzolf and Jack Nicklaus planning and opening courses around the area, enthusiasts will not be short of beautiful, top-rate greens to tee off on.
The magazine also reports on the newest project in the area, the Roco Ki, a resort offering miles of golden coastline as well as over 1000 hectares housing the renowned Westin and Fairmont hotels – not to mention the fabulous golf courses!
The tourism minister for the Dominican Republic, Felix Jiménez, says their “vision to grow the Dominican Republic’s east coast into an upscale golfer’s paradise” has transformed the region into the quintessential golfing destination.

A good time to buy in Bulgaria
According to a recent survey conducted by a reputable property portal, prospective and existing owners of property in Bulgaria may well be scheduled to enjoy considerable returns on their investments.
Government figures have suggested that house prices in the region have seen a noteworthy increase.
Good news for present and future MRI clients, as our team offers superb properties in the regions of Bansko and Sunny Beach, both areas offering great rental returns!
The area which encompasses Sunny Beach offers over four miles of fine golden sand encased by natural dunes and calm, sparkling water with a gently sloping sea bottom. The beaches are edged by the beautiful greenery of the nearby mountains, historical attractions and Unesco world heritage sites.
In contrast – and recently named by the Guardian as the number two spot in the world on its most recommended list of ski resorts – Bansko features the best and most modern ski centre in the country, boasting the best snow record and the longest season of all Bulgarian ski resorts.
Why not book a trip and inspect the area for yourself?
