More good news! Excellent!

Do you know how many people swore on God that the DR will never see a Ritz Carlton?

He he, I need to buy some salt. A lot of people are going to need it to make the words tastier, now that they have to eat them.

Dolores, dr1 Daily News says that what was announced today it worth ~$USD1 billion, but it seems to me (from reading the Cap Cana's) actual press release that what was announced today is only part of a bigger partnership that is the one estimated at ~1USD billion. i.e., ...

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic, Sept. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Luxury resort community Cap Cana, S.A. is proud to announce a two-fold partnership with global powerhouse The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C., to develop a world class luxury resort, The Ritz-Carlton, Cap Cana, and a residential venture known as the Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Cap Cana. The 220-room resortwill compliment Cap Cana's existing developments and will feature a range of luxury amenities, including a lavish 16,000 square-foot spa, a private beach club, and five restaurants and lounges. The Ritz-Carlton, Cap Cana and the194-privately owned beachfront and golf Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Cap Cana are scheduled to open in early 2010 and are part of a two-phase $1 billion endeavor (real estate sales and construction).
...
J. W. Marriott Jr., chairman and chief executive officer of Marriott International, expressed "Cap Cana has envisioned a bold luxury tourism and real estate development project that promises to be one of the most exciting new destinations in the Caribbean. We are excited that our Ritz-Carlton brand will be represented at Cap Cana and are hopeful that one or more of our other hotel brands will also fit in with Cap Cana's plans for this world class destination."

itz Carlton Cap Cana
Marriott International chairman and CEO Bill Marriott and Ricardo Hazoury of Cap Cana have announced plans to build a Ritz Carlton Cap Cana and adjacent Residences at The Ritz Carlton, Cap Cana on the east coast beach destination. The billion-dollar investment in the 220-room luxury hotel will feature a 1,490 square meter spa and private beach club, as well as five restaurants. The Residences will consist of 194 private beach and golf residences scheduled for opening in 2010. The announcement follows on the heels of the Trump at Cap Cana development, announced earlier this year.
"The Ritz Carlton, Cap Cana is a new paradigm in the Dominican tourism industry," stated Ricardo Hazoury, president of the board of directors of Cap Cana, upon making the announcement.
2007 has become the year when luxury non-all inclusive hotels have begun to take root in the DR. Work is well under way on the Starwood/Westin Roco Ki (Macao, on the east coast) and the Four Seasons at Casa de Campo (La Romana, on the south east coast).

We were working from the same press release -- the only difference was that we had only the Spanish version. We requested the English from Ritz Carlton, but they have not responded to our inquiry yet. Thank you for posting it.

It is a billion dollar investment on behalf of Ritz Carlton to develop hotel and real estate.

To tell the truth, there are so many millions and billions getting thrown around for developments in the East that it is dizzying.
