Resort strikes a balance with ecology and development.
And that is a pretty succinct definition of the philosophy of Punta Cana beach and golf resort on the eastern tip of the Dominican Republic where they on the cutting edge of defining the difference between the two. Build and operate a school for children not only of the workers but of the area, run mostly on scholarships. Start construction of an eventual 1,000 modern houses for resort employees, all connected to electricity, water, sanitation, and served by a shopping center and a bowling alley. Employ an ever increasing number of unemployed Dominicans, to peak at 5,000 at the resort itself, and help create more than 30,000 more jobs in the area. Provide health insurance and pension plans for the employees.
