The Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources approved the environmental license for the development of the Punta Bergantin tourism project, in the province of Puerto Plata.<\/p>\n
With the authorization of the Ministry of Environment, construction work will begin in August and includes the construction of nine hotels and 6,625 homes that will benefit tourism in the area of the Dominican Republic known as The Bride of the Atlantic.<\/p>\n
Andr\u00e9s Marranzini Grull\u00f3n, executive director of the Punta Bergantin Project, explained through a press release that the environmental permit covers an area of \u200b\u200b9.6 million square meters.<\/p>\n
In addition, it excludes the use of infrastructure construction in the areas of wetlands, mangroves, dunes, swamps, ravines, and any other area of \u200b\u200benvironmental vulnerability within the scope of the project development.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, The Punta Bergant\u00edn tourism project in Puerto Plata will have an innovation hub, an initiative that brings together the government, companies, academia, and civil society with the aim of stimulating human capital and providing the necessary infrastructure for future innovation ventures in the country.<\/p>\n
“Everything that the Punta Bergant\u00edn innovation hub entails places the country on the path to competitiveness,” said the president of this non-profit association, Franklyn Holgu\u00edn Hach\u00e9.<\/p>\n
He added that the country has the resources, the strategic location, and the human talent “to emerge as a small power in global innovation trends.” “We are oriented in that direction,” he said in a press release.<\/p>\n
For his part, the vice president, Jonathan Bournigal Read, said that this initiative seeks to develop local technical capabilities and, in addition, turn the country into an attractive ecosystem for the realization of technological events, conferences, and investments by startups and large technology companies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
