The 165,000-hectare area is populated by local and indigenous people and this project, embracing responsible and sustainable development standards, is open to public and private initiatives for the construction of resorts, hotels and nature-focused amenities. The recently completed San Vicente International Airport is bringing investment directly into the area. Investments in the construction and repair of access roads, modular docking facilities, water supply, power generation, distribution facilities and administrative buildings, including TIEZA and TEZ offices, are creating significant interest in the area.]]></image:caption>
