By Phil - 18 iunie 2018
Now that the Chilean Gaming Board has awarded four out of five municipal casino licences to Enjoy the company has announced that it will be withdrawing from the Colombian market in order to focus its efforts on the Chilean market.
The announcement means that Enjoy will end it operations on the island of San Andrés in the Caribbean Sea.
General Manager Enjoy, Gerardo Cood explained that: “When we made the decision to arrive in Colombia, we did it with a smaller bet of 70 machines and nine gaming tables, to get to know the market and its preferences. However, while it is a very attractive tourist destination, the profile of visitors seek another type of entertainment option.”
The executive recognised the work carried out on the island, supported by the Decameron hotel chain, and said, “the Enjoy experience was captured thanks to the creation of a good team that was prepared and knew how to create great experiences for each visitor.”
Gerardo Cood added that after the recent results of the bids from Chile, Enjoy would focus its resources and energy on the execution of the projects in Coquimbo, Viña del Mar, Pucón and Puerto Varas. “We have started a new phase in the path of regional development of the company and we are focused on carrying out a plan of initiatives that will consolidate Enjoy as a benchmark in the entertainment industry,” he said.
In April 2015, it was announced that Enjoy had signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Decameron hotel chain. Decameron Hotels & Resorts, S.A. owns and operates a chain of hotels in the Caribbean, Central America, South America, and Africa. The total investment for the new casino in San Andrés stood at US$3.5m and the licence was valid from February 2016 for five years.
