Argentine company Commercial Tourism Company is looking to spend $60m restoring an eight-story casino ship, which has been in the port of Puerto Iguazú, a border city in the province of Misiones in Argentina, since 2013, with the plan of reopening and mooring it near the new bridge.
Lawyer Magno Álvarez, Paraguayan consul in Puerto Iguazú, who is accompanying the project, said: “Without a doubt, it is an unprecedented attraction in the Triple Border area, from Paraguay to the world.”
The area is known as the Triple Borders region due to adjoining borders of Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil.

Nestlé & Cargill v. Doe. The Court will decide if, moving forward, multinational corporations will enjoy impunity or face accountability when they violate human rights abroad.
