Santo Domingo.- Andrés Marranzini, director of the Punta Bergantín Trust, highlighted the significant impact and strategic plans for developing the northern region into a major tourism destination. Speaking at the American Chamber of Commerce (AMCHAMDR), Marranzini emphasized that the Punta Bergantín project, driven by local and international investments, will promote both real estate and hotel development while strengthening the value chain and creating jobs.
He outlined the projected economic benefits over the next 36 months, alongside a training program for local workers to meet demand. Marranzini noted that partnerships with brands like Hyatt and the Meliá-Grupo Puntacana alliance, supported by Grupo Reservas and the Ministry of Tourism, ensure the project’s success, particularly in the Villa Montellano community.
The project includes 4,000 hotel rooms, renowned North American hotel brands, and the creation of an Innovation District to position the area as a hub for technology and entrepreneurship. In addition to tourism, a public and private beach club, golf course, and film studio will diversify the economy, making the region a key destination for both business and leisure. Marranzini stressed that the initiative aims to drive sustainable development, with local stakeholders playing an active role in the value chain.
