Yesterday, President Leonel Fernandez and Tourism Minister Francisco Javier Garcia attended the launch of the new Vista Cana Resort and Country Club in the Punta Cana area. The Venezuelan tourism project will include the construction of 6,000 rooms, a commercial center with 100 stores, a 27-hole golf course and an artificial 180,000 square meter lake set in a total area of 6 million square meters. The investors talk of initial cost of US$1.2 billion. Fernandez highlighted that with this and other upcoming projects, the DR continues to diversify its tourism inventory while maintaining its "bread and butter" offer. Fernandez said the resort project seeks to attract "baby boomers" in search of a nice place to visit and retire to. Fernandez added that while 2009 should be a tough year, the DR would continue its efforts to attract foreign and tourism investment.
