Some coffee, seabreeze and mucho jokes, Ted Kheel.
Zoom Picture

Recently Dominican Today was invited to take part in a conference hosted by Columbia University and other institutions where the experts, led by Don Melnick, took the journalists on a comprehensive tour of the world’s current environmental issues and their links to the planet’s natural resources.

The setting, the Punta Cana Resort & Hotel, is ideal for this type of event because of Ted Kheel, who perhaps unwittingly has created a point of reference for the country’s and even the Caribbean’s tourism industry.

Kheel is living a dream: the New York City-seasoned man is living the retired life in the country’s sunup, where the palms sway as the trade winds stir the shore.

Together with his Dominican partner Frank Rainieri, he shows the tourism industry’s leaders how to make money while forging long-term alliances that benefit both the investor and the local people.

Kudos to Ted Kheel, dream on.

Years ago i worked in a law firm in New York City, where Mr. Kheel, as i was told was a civil rights lawyer back in the 50-'s 60's. that along impress me. So image when I found out that Mr.Kheel was part of a group that was developing a piece of real estate for my beloved country. Still after all these years later, i am somewhat disappointed that Dominican Republic, one of the most popular, if not THE most popular place for tourist world wide in the caribbean, has been slow in developing the country. Health, education, povetry, and housing are things i think that are not, or being address very slowly.
