Uruguay’s Ministry of Tourism has opened a second tender summons for a five-star hotel casino between the towns of La Paloma and Chu on the Rocha coast, near the Brazilian border.
According to CDC Gaming Reports, the first tender took place in September 2020, but was tabled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Companies who participated in the first round were awarded five points in the initial scoring.
At a press conference, Minister Germán Cardoso said interested groups have 90 days to submit their proposals “for this vast area.”
“Rocha has been waiting for many years,” he said. “It has been shipwrecked.”
Rocha Mayor Alejo Umpiérrez added, “Sometimes crises are opportunities. Rocha does not try to imitate any other tourist destination, but to sell its product, the Rocha product with all its profile and identity, but at a high-class level. The investors will really define the best place for their business.”
