By James -29年2024月XNUMX日
The government’s plans to boost tourism through the construction of luxury hotels and casinos in La Paloma in the La Rocha department and the city of Paysandú in the Paysandú department have failed to attract private investors, resulting in both tenders being declared void according to local press.
プロセス、 initiated in August last year with the tender presentation for the La Paloma hotel, was promoted by the Minister of Tourism, タバレ・ビエラ , who at the time highlighted the initiative as a “significant opportunity” to contribute to the region’s development.
Last year the Uruguayan executive branch also authorised the call for bids for the construction of a hotel and casino in the city of Paysandú. The project, had a planned investment of around US$22m, and would have included an event and convention hall, restaurants, commercial premises and a casino.
The Ministry of Tourism had been working on the development of three hotel projects in the departments of Paysandú, Rocha, and Colonia. However, only the Carmelo project located in the department of Colonia could still go ahead, although the international tender is yet to be launched.
In May last year Viera told local press that there was growing interest in the hotel and casino located in the town of Carmelo. Viera said that there were a number of potential buyers: “There are verbal expressions of interested parties. They have asked, they have requested plans, and others have toured the location.”
According to the minister, the sale had been made possible after the government approved a resolution that wrote off a real estate tax debt generated by the Airemar Corporation. この法人は、1991 年から 2020 年までホテル カジノ カルメロの管理を担当していました。コロニア市との負債は 65 万ペソ (1.65 万米ドル) に達しており、地方自治体から取り消し要求が出されていました。同省に属する建物の将来の売却に向けた条件を改善するため。
