Puerto Plata.- Andrés Marranzini Grullón, General Director of the Punta BergantÃn tourism project, shared updates on the development at a meeting with Puerto Plata’s tourism stakeholders. In this first stage, the project will include the construction of nine hotels and 6,625 homes, boosting tourism in the region known as the Bride of the Atlantic.
Marranzini emphasized that the project will exclude infrastructure construction in environmentally sensitive areas such as wetlands, mangroves, dunes, swamps, ravines, and other vulnerable zones. Current agreements have been established with developers for three major hotel projects:
- Hyatt Ziva and Zilara: 800 rooms
- Meliá Hotels: 400 rooms, in partnership with Grupo Puntacana
- Karisma Hotels: 300 rooms
He also confirmed that the project will preserve a 30-meter buffer zone along rivers, ravines, and streams in the Muñoz, Jacuba, Limonal, Chicigua, Polanco, and Atollador areas, ensuring environmental sustainability. Marranzini invited the local community to actively participate in this transformative initiative.
