Paraguay – Hard Rock must join tender in Paraguay following Presidential Decree
By Phil - 2 Kasım 2016
The President of the Republic of Paraguay has authorised by decree, the development of a tourism project in a building belonging to the headquarters of Paraguay’s National Ports Authority (ANNP) in Ciudad del Este.
The decree rules that the tender for the construction and operation of a casino and hotel in a building owned by the ANNP will be permitted with the intention of attracting investments in the area and promoting tourism.
While a tender process was not originally envisaged it is still positive news for the planned Hard Rock Hotel and Casino as it is likely that the government will ultimately give the green light to the company which may invest an much as US$70m in building a hotel and casino in Paraguay’s second largest city.
The decree comes after a written request was made by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of Paraguay Gustavo Leite along with the consent of the President of the de ANNP, Héctor Duré, the Head of Paraguay’s Gaming Board (CONAJZAR) Javier Balbuena, the Attorney General Roberto Moreno, and the Minister of Tourism Marcela Bacigalupo. The request indicates that the site for the proposed casino at the head of the Friendship Bridge (Puente de la Amistad) an arch bridge connecting the Brazilian city of Foz do Iguaçu and Ciudad del Este is now unfeasible for port operations due to the large amount of traffic in the port, and that a second bridge spanning the Rio Paraná river is now sufficient for the needs of the National Ports Authorities.
Hard Rock International, ilk olarak 2014 yılında Ciudad del Este şehrinde bir kumarhane ve otel kurmayı planladığını duyurdu. Otelin 250 odaya sahip olacağına, kumarhanenin ise 500 slot makinesine ve 30 oyun masasına ev sahipliği yapacağına inanılıyor. Yerel basında çıkan haberlere göre, Paraguay'da lansman kararı, pazarlama, strateji, finansal planlama, hükümet denetimi ve yerel oyun yasaları konularında tavsiyelerde bulunan yerel uzmanlardan oluşan bir ekip tarafından yürütülen geniş kapsamlı bir çalışmanın ardından verildi. Ciudad del Este, Paraguay'ın ikinci büyük şehri ve Rio Paraná'da bulunan Alto Paraná Bölümü'nün başkentidir.
