And I thought that you were asking whether you can buy 25% ownership interest as you feel so sure it will succeed.

MULTI MILLION DOLLAR HOTEL OPENS AT FARM

 

 

 

 investment coming at a good time – President Ramotar

THE landscape of the East Bank of Demerara, in addition to the expansion of the four-lane highway, has seen another change with the opening of the multimillion dollar Park Vue Hotel, yesterday, at Farm.

 

President Donald Ramotar, who cut the ceremonial ribbon, pointed out that the investment is coming at good time, with changes in Guyana’s visibility as a tourism destination and the massive development thrust of his government.

New Year but Marriott investor still a secret

 

Posted By Staff Writer On January 1, 2014 @ 5:41 am In Local News | No Comments

Head of Atlantic Hotels Inc. (AHI) Winston Brassington has not disclosed the name and other details of the US$8 million equity private investor into the Marriott Hotel despite giving several undertakings to make that information public before the end of 2013.

Brassington had said that the hotel is expected to be operational by August and sample rooms have been inspected and approved by Marriott.

Opposition parties in the National Assembly and other civil society actors have severely criticised the government for using public monies as part of the equity for the hotel’s construction. They have also slammed the proposals made for financing the debt aspect of the investment and the arrangements which include senior debt and syndicated loans to some of the investors.

 

AHI was incorporated on September 10, 2009 as a public private partnership to engage in development of the hospitality sector, including the construction, ownership and operation of a five-star international hotel. In June 2013, Brassington in response to queries by this newspaper had said that he would be later that month releasing a statement with the investor’s details. However it was not until the latter part of September that he released a statement saying that a private investor would be contributing equity in the amount of US$8 million.

 

Brassington had said that the investor wanted to be comfortable that all of the remaining money would be coming in before going public. He explained that the transaction had had a number of conditions precedent, one of which was that the investor had to be approved by Marriott International.

Brassington had said that AHI had executed agreements to build the Marriott Hotel in Guyana. He said that this was done after an intense due diligence study which Republic Bank Limited in Trinidad and Marriott International had conducted.

 

He explained that with NICIL providing just US$4 million towards the equity, the unnamed investor is the majority investor. Brassington promised to reveal the identity of the investor once the agreement reaches financial closure, which he had said was expected before the end of 2013. Republic Bank Limited is making available US$27 million, while the operator of the hotel’s Entertainment Complex, not yet identified, will provide US$4 million, which is the expected cost to outfit the complex.

 

Brassington had said that NICIL is responsible for putting just under US$20 million into the project and said that in addition to the US$4 million in equity, NICIL will also be putting up US$15.5 million, or one third of the debt.

He had said also that government’s investment is needed to catalyse the project, when asked why taxpayer dollars were being used for the project. Brassington had said that the practice is nothing strange. He noted then that government participation has seen the construction of the Hyatt Regency in Trinidad, the Harmony Cove Development Jamaica, the Sandals Whitehouse in Jamaica, and several others.

 

The hotel will have 197 rooms and house a three-part entertainment complex which includes a restaurant, a casino and a nightclub, and will fall under the brand of and will be managed by the Marriott brand under a 30-year agreement.

Almost everyone in Guyana knows someone in America or Canada. These people don't want to work because they are expecting US or CD dollars. This one of the reasons there is a shortage of labour in the sugar industry. They blame the government for their hardships when their remittances don't show up.

How does Gold Rush help.  You do know that most people don't go to countries where they need to hire armed guards to protect them as the Gold Rush people have said that they have had to do.

 

 

You know when the hotel sector claims that they have less than 40% occupancy at most times of the year one can only query the motives of those who think that yet another hotel makes sense.

 

If these guys so believe in Guyana's TOURIST potential (not overseas Guyanese) they then ought to build facilities in the laces where the tourist wil actually want to see.  I don't think that there is anything on the East Bank which will interest them.

 

I am also not aware that Guyanese have a shortage of places to stay.  What I do know is that there is a shortage of airline seats into GEO, and I would think that this would be more of a priority in solving.

 

But the PPP sent a few emails to some airlines and they respond with an automatically generated email and that ends that.  You will note that we haven't heard any ramblings of new airlines recently.

Well the govt boasts that Guyana is the richest country in the Caribbean so they want to know why the wages are only better than Haiti, and Cuba.
