Why Visit the Dominican Republic with Goco Goes?
If you had a choice between the traditional Resort vacation OR the Goco Goes Vacation, Which would you prefer:
Traditional Vacation
Spend $$$ on a resort owned by the wealthiest companies, the money exits the country. The general vicinity is filled with tourists. Everyone is herded off to the same few tourist trap locations. Everything feels transactional. The only time you meet locals is in a servant role (Waiter, Taxi-driver, Bartender, Cleaning person).
OR
Goco Goes Vacation
The hotel you stay at is owned by a local family, the money directly supports their lives and circulates within the local economy. Because of our local knowledge and guided support, you can confidently experience real genuine moments with locals and in spaces where tourists never go without having to worry about having to fully orientate yourself.
You get to visit the most beautiful hidden gems on the island where you will notice the local tourist enjoying themselves. This gives you a more in-depth perspective of the lived experiences of the people who call the island home. A chance to breathe and relax in a new environment.
Goco Goes is about connection
We get to visit local community projects working on amazing things around music, cuisine, and eco-tourism.
If you choose the second option, then congratulations, Goco Goes is for you.

His work within the country is bonafide and his identity has been shaped by the vibrant culture of the Island of Quisquya.
Goco noticed that the vast majority of tourists who visit never actually get the chance to experience the real side of the island. Most visit Punta Cana, a newly established town built exclusively for foreigners.
In fact, most Dominicans who work there commute from a town 30 mins away. He compares the sterile nature of Punta Cana to a Stripmall in suburban America.
You can be in any city in the United States and have the exact same experience.
