Minister Collado stressed the importance of this project for the diversification and expansion of the tourism sector in the Dominican Republic, highlighting that Punta Bergant\u00edn, in addition to its characteristics as a new world-class destination, is an engine of economic development that will benefit thousands of Dominicans. \u201cThis project is a reality, there is no theory here, here is the first groundbreaking, here are the funds, the support of the Banco de Reservas and the Banco Popular. The best is yet to come for Puerto Plata,\u201d he indicated.<\/p>\n
The president of the BanReservas Group, Samuel Pereyra, indicated: \u201cToday we already have a plan for the development of Punta Bergant\u00edn that will include the opening of 4,000 hotel rooms, 1,500 residential rooms, and an academic campus aimed at promoting education and innovation in the country; a film studio to be installed jointly with the international firm One Race Films, a company chaired by actor Vin Diesel; and a modern 18-hole golf course,\u201d said Pereyra.<\/p>\n
He explained that the development plan includes enabling lots for commercial premises, land for offices, recreational areas, public and private beach clubs, among other services. He recalled that in 2021, the Reservas Group acquired around 9.6 million square meters in the municipality of Villa Montellano, in Puerto Plata, precisely on the coast of Punta Bergant\u00edn, so that, in common agreement with other government agencies, a strategic framework would be developed to transform these lands into an area of urban tourism development; which will contribute to the country's projection of receiving 11 million tourists, an ambitious goal that reflects Banreservas' commitment to growth and innovation in the sector.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Executive Director of the Punta Bergant\u00edn Project, Andres Marranzini Grullon<\/i>, said: \u201cWe have taken on the challenge of developing this important task, where the community of Villa Montellano will be able to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the initiative motivated by the government, structured with the economic and professional support of the Reservas Group, and with the credibility of marketing execution and positioning of the Ministry of Tourism.\u201d<\/p>\n
For his part, Enrique Martin\u00f3n, president of Grupo Martin\u00f3n, expressed confidence in the investment climate in the Dominican Republic, as well as the benefits that this investment generates in the value chain, referring to the \u201c1,300 direct jobs, an estimated consumption of eggs of more than one million units per year, 300 thousand pounds of chicken and 600 tons of vegetables and greens.\u201d He added, \u201ctourists buy around 70 million dollars a year in local products such as rum, coffee, cigars and mamajuana.\u201d<\/p>\n
Taking the floor Antonio Fungairino<\/i>, Director of Development of Hyatt's Inclusive Collection, said that this project will represent a very high-profile anchor for the development of Punta Bergant\u00edn and thanked the Dominican Republic's strategic focus on tourism, where he reported that they already have almost 20 hotels and more than 8,000 rooms.<\/p>\n

\u201cPunta Bergant\u00edn is more than a tourism initiative; it is a comprehensive plan that seeks to raise the quality of life of the inhabitants of Villa Montellano and position Puerto Plata as a global reference destination.
