The president of the BHD Bank, Steven Puig, said that in the last 15 years, the bank has granted financing to the sector for more than US $ 1,000 million.
When speaking during the International Tourism Fair (Fitur) 2025, which is held from January 22 to 26 in Madrid, Spain, Puig said that the tourist loan portfolio has maintained an average growth of 30 % for the last four years, representing 19 % of the total corporate portfolio.
In addition, during Fitur 2025 BHD Funds, a company of the BHD Financial Center that channels resources of institutional investors to the real sector, announced to sign an agreement with Grupo Prime to develop in society a real estate tourism project under international standards in Esmeralda Beach, Miches.
The project entails a phase development plan that includes two beach resorts hotels under international brands, luxury homes for sale and other complementary amenities for real estate development in the area.
Gabriel Tineo, general manager of BHD Funds, said they are “focused on impulse of new destinations and the sustainable development of tourism.”
With the signing of this agreement with Grupo Prime, from the United States through the company Miches Land Development, the planning phase of a macroproject begins that joins local and foreign investment in Miches, which contributes to bringing international experience to the country.
The value proposal of the BHD Bank for tourism projects includes structuring bilateral and syndicated loans.
