The Uruguayan Government has unveiled its initiative to renovate the Hotel Casino Carmelo, included in the national strategy to promote domestic and international tourism. Through international investments, the Colonia facility would be converted into a five-star hotel casino.
German Cardoso, Minister of Tourism, said: “I’m an optimistic man and I know we’ll come out [of this situation] very soon. This Department has many projects.” He also shared that they’re working on the “Call for International Interest” to begin with the casino bidding process.
“We’ve talked with President Luis Lacalle Pou and this already received the green light,” said Cardoso about the casino, which is a project initiated by the Ministry of Tourism. The goal, he explained, is to return to the positive developments that Uruguay was experiencing before the pandemic.
