P8 NEWSWIRE / INTERACTIVE / MARKET DATA Second Tender Launched in Punta del Este


Te call for an international public tender has been announced for the running of the casino in a new luxury hotel in Punta del Este


In November Uruguay’s President, Tabaré Vázquez, signed a resolution which approves the feasibility of a new casino in Punta del Este. Te new casino had already received favourable reports from the officials from the Ministry of Economy and Finance and Tourism.


According to a resolution signed by the President, the complex named “Cipriani Ocean Resort and Club Residences - Punta del Este” includes the construction of “a new San Rafael Hotel, casino, commercial premises, convention centre, theatre, spa and amenities, two underground garages and residences.” Both the Ministries of Tourism and Economy and Finance issued "favourable" reports that make the second private casino in Punta del Este possible. Te casino and hotel will form part of the Cipriani Ocean Resort & Club Residences Punta del Este on the former site of the emblematic San Rafael hotel.


Te bidding process has now begun and potential stakeholders have until January 20 to submit their bids. Te current regulations establish that licenses for casino establishments must be granted by a public tender. According to local laws, the only other private casino in the popular tourist destination is allowed, if an investment equal to or greater than that of the


former Conrad hotel casino is made.


As a result the clause that exists in favour of Baluma S.A (owner of the private casino at Hotel Enjoy the ex Conrad-) is being taken into account in the tender. In the terms and conditions, rules state that the amount to be invested in the construction of the new luxury hotel must be equal to or greater than US$160m, without taking into account the value of the land of the infrastructure for the new facility.


In addition, as compensation, the bidder must commit to pay the state an annual fee made up of a percentage of the casino's gross income and a minimum annual amount.


Te minimum annual amount payable will be US$7.8m in the first year, with annual increases of US$100,000 until 2026. After that date the annual amount will be fixed after the bidder has proposed its economic package, but it must be equivalent to or greater than US$8.4m. Te casino license will be valid for twenty years.


Te San Rafael Hotel in Punta del Este, has been closed since 2011, but was acquired by the Cipriani Group for more than US$40m in February 2018 after an agreement was signed by Giuseppe Cipriani.


Paraguay Clubs distance themselves following scandal


A number of top tier football clubs in Paraguay say that they want no part in sports betting. Several presidents of First Division football clubs in Paraguay have agreed to put forward a request to the Paraguayan Football Association (APF) asking that their clubs do not appear on betting platforms for both Paraguay’s domestic football cup competition and the first league cup.


Te APF addressed the issue of sports betting with Vice President of the Association, Carlos Sosa Jovellanos, explained that clubs were in agreement that action had to be taken to counteract the possible damage to local football. Te official said that clubs such as Cerro Porteño and Olimpia, which already have a commercial relationship with sports betting


companies, would have to resolve the issue separately.


Te measures come after an alleged corruption scandal. An appeal has been made to the APF to open an investigation into Club Olimpia President, Marco Trovato, over his alleged involvement with a sports betting company.


Speaking at a press conference Jovellanos said that matches which are part of Paraguayan football championships no longer appear as a betting option."It is in the hands of the advisors that we have hired and they will give us the strategies and the deadlines to follow up on. Tat is our right and that is precisely what we want, that the championships organized by the APF no longer appear nor the names or the insignia of our clubs.”
