Puerto Plata Cable Car gets a winner: Doma Consortium
The Doma Consortium won the tender to rebuild the Puerto Plata Cable Car. It is made up of Austria's Doppelmayr, Switzerland's Bartholet and the Dominican Grupo Malespín, as reported by Arecoa.
The project is expected to take 18 to 20 months. This is news the north coast tourism industry needed. The cable car is one of Puerto Plata's historic attractions, and rebuilding it comes at a time when the city wants to position itself as both a mountain and a beach destination.
My take: choosing a consortium with two top European manufacturers and a local construction firm shows they want to do this right, with proven tech and on-the-ground execution. Now the key is keeping the schedule on track. If the promise holds, Puerto Plata gets back a key piece of its tourism offer.
