Help our Guide Team in Dominican Republic Survive the Covid -19 Crisis
My name is Lise Ménard, and along with my husband Edwar Rodriguez, we own El Tour Caribe. Over the past 8 years, we have dedicated our life to creating amazing memories for thousands of guests in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
We would like to express our gratitude to all of you who have come to Punta Cana and joined us on one of our Adventures and we hope you cherish those memories in these difficult times.
Many of you have become regular guests since our first tour together and have even recommended us to friends and family. We cannot thank you enough for choosing us to host these treasured experiences. You have become our extended family.
Today our industry like so many, is suffering greatly. Due to travel restrictions, entire cities shutting down worldwide, and the temporary closing of the Dominican border, we have felt the brunt of this horrific economical impact.
Our local dive instructors, snorkelling guides, boat crew, chef and staff live and breath tourism. They are passionate about what they do and Tourism is their life. We are blessed with one of the greatest professions one could hope for … but today we humbly ask for your help and support.
100% of your generous donations will go towards helping each one of our team members take care of their families in these incredibly tough economic times. For most of our team members, tourism is all they know and they have no other way to provide for those they love. Without the income they normally earn at this time, they are in survival mode now.
We are not located in an area where governement relief is offered. Unfortunately, here in the Dominican Republic, there is no such thing as unemployment insurance and there certainly are no bailouts. The daily struggle that face each one of our team members is very real. Most of them have larger extended families who also depend on the income their eldest sons can provide.
Without the tips and income that would normally come from high season here, many will not be able to make ends meet. It is not a question of “stuck home with my kids” it is truly a ¨how will I feed my kids today”.
Many of you have met our staff personally and shared great moments while you visited our beautiful island. From line dancing on the boat to sipping a refreshing cocktail, they were the ones creating the moments that fill the story of your amazing vacation.
And now, like never before, they need your help. You can make a difference, your contribution can help aliviate some of the hardships they face.
We care deeply about our staff. We realize that they are the lifeblood of our buisness and that without them, there is no El Tour Caribe. Their wellbeing is of utmost importance to us and is our first priority.
Rest assured that your contribution will make a difference in their lives and for that we are very grateful to you.
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts, and look forward to getting back to doing what we love which is creating lifelasting vacation memories for all of you, our beloved guests.
Forever Grateful,
The El Tour Caribe Team
