Luxurious Renaissance resort and casino to open in mid 2008
MetaCorp CEO Eduardo de Veer notes that Curaçao has exceeded his expectations and expresses his confidence in the island’s tourism strategy.
"The fact that we are investing 80 million US dollars in a fabulous and exciting new resort in Curacao is public knowledge. Construction is well underway and we are eager to open in mid 2008. We started the development with much optimism and must admit that we have increased our expectations as we got deeper into the marketing and staffing process. The demand for our resort is higher than we expected. We will be able to recruit more than sufficient local qualified personnel. The tax incentive is a correct tool to attract investments, but our determination was mostly based on our conviction that Curacao is ready, willing and able to expand its tourism industry. We wanted to be there for the kick-off. Our Renaissance project has received a broad support from the public and private sectors. This positive attitude is very reassuring for us as investors."
