Plans were underway for a preclearance facility to be opened at Punta Cana International Airport located in the popular tourist destination of Punta Cana, Dominican Republic by the end of summer 2009, however as of November 2012 the facility has not opened yet. In April 2011, a team from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security traveled to Jamaica for talks with Jamaican government and tourism officials regarding the prospects of opening future preclearance facilities on the island.

“They commonly celebrate those beaches only which have a hotel on them, not those which have a humane house alone. But I wished to see that seashore where man’s works are wrecks; to put up at the true Atlantic House, where the ocean is land-lord as well as sea-lord, and comes ashore without a wharf for the landing; where the crumbling land is the only invalid, or at best is but dry land, and that is all you can say of it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
