SANTO DOMINGO.-.– A complex that will feature an adventure park, an air community, two themed hotels, 7 kilometers of river, a beach club and activities around a domestic airport, will be built in Las Lagunas Nisibón, in the province of Higuey.
The Dominican Institute of Civil Aviation (IDAC) formally authorized the operation of the Nisibon AirPark domestic aerodrome, the first of its kind in the Caribbean Region, within a 23 million square meter property, which will include a real estate project, an adventure park with 13 attractions, an aviators' club and other activities linked to the aeronautical sector, as published today by Listín Diario.
The aeronautical components of the complex, together with the terminal and its hangars, will be complemented by a real estate development under the concept of villas with hangars or hangar-homes, where owners can arrive and store their aircraft.
The publication indicates that the certificate was delivered by the interim general director of IDAC, Héctor Porcella, to the president of Nisibon AirPark, Oscar Villanueva, who was accompanied by the businessmen Fernando Villanueva and Eduardo Read, president and member of the board of the Viamar group, among others.
Also present were the director of the Airport Department, Víctor Pichardo, and the commanding general of the Dominican Republic Air Force, Major General Carlos R. Febrillet.
Porcella explained that the certification of the new airfield met all the requirements established in the Dominican Republic's Civil Aviation Law No. 491-06, in a process that began in 2013.
He stated that the aeronautical complex corresponds to the great moment that civil aviation is experiencing in the country as a result of the extraordinary boom in the national tourism industry and the firm will of President Luis Abinader and Minister David Collado to strengthen investment in the strategic sectors of the Dominican economy.
Highlighting the scale of the Oscar Villanueva project, he asserted that there are no similar attractions in the country or the region.
The private capital project is located in the community of Las Lagunas de Nisibón, in Higüey, less than 50 kilometers from Punta Cana and is destined to become one of the main complementary attractions of the most famous tourist destination in the Caribbean region.
