Rare-Earth Race: Dominican officials say rare-earth studies in Pedernales are moving fast, with results on quantity and quality expected by year-end—after thousands of boreholes, test pits, and samples—positioning the country for a future supply-chain role as global demand rises. Tourism Pressure Points: In La Altagracia, lawmakers warn the province is “punished by success,” citing unplanned growth and service gaps despite the Punta Cana boom, pushing for a special census to fix distorted population data. Aviation & Travel: Arajet is bringing back nonstop Punta Cana–Ecuador service from October 2026, while local aviation authorities say Spirit’s exit will be “moderate” for low-cost capacity as other carriers absorb routes. Cost-of-Living Echo: A U.S. report highlights how rising food, rent, and transport costs are squeezing Dominican and other Latino households—fueling broader economic anxiety. Legal/Crime: Dominican authorities opened proceedings tied to a tourist-boat accident that seriously injured a “Survivor Greece” contestant, and a separate case alleges a couple tried to smuggle monkeys into the country.
