La fantasía de 1,300 mdd que Vidanta llevará a Nayarit (The fantasy of 1,300 billion dollars that Vidanta will bring to Nayarit)

El Cirque du Soleil levantará el telón del primer parque temático multimillonario en México en 2018, el cual desarrollará de la mano con la empresa que dirige Daniel Chávez Morán. (Cirque du Soleil will raise the curtain of the first billionaire theme park in Mexico in 2018, which will develop hand in hand with the company that Daniel Chavez Moran runs.)


Daniel Chavez Moran is the man of the moment in the charming Mexican tourist business. Your portfolio is the most lopsided in the sector, with 1,450 million dollars (billion dollars) for projects to be implemented in the following years, one of which it is a card up his sleeve that will shake the Mexican entertainment industry live.

With this project, Mexico joins the few countries with amusement centers large and Vidanta joins companies like Disney Attractions, Merlin Entertainment Group and Universal Parks & Resorts.

In this new park estimated to receive one million visitors in the first stage (2018), and two million when completed in three stages, in 2021 or 2022, says Ivan Chavez, executive vice president and son of Chavez Morán.

The investment of 1,300 million dollars (1,450 billion dollars of which has a portfolio Chavez Morán) to make a park is unprecedented in Mexico. The amount of attention, but (to be explained) depends on the time in which it is exercised and if in addition to the park includes accommodation facilities and some other type exposes Francisco Madrid, director of the School of Tourism Anahuac University and former undersecretary of Tourism.

Chavez did not reveal how much of the 1,300 billion dollars will be consumed in the first phase of investment or how will they and how the partners of Cirque du Soleil.

The megapark Vidanta is intended for national and passersby international .Puerto Vallarta is a tourist destination known internationally, but was also selected for its geo - economic location: within 500 km or five hours of travel on the road inhabit around 50 million people, said Chavez.
