FRANK RAINIERI MARRANZINI: CREATOR OF DREAMS
The small business which opened amid all manner of economic difficulties—with only nine cabins that
were eventually demolished to make way for Club Med—eventually built a new hotel, despite further eco-
nomic obstacles and civil unrest in the country. Punta Cana has reached unimagined heights and become a
model worthy of imitation on an international level.
One of the more notable aspects about the Puntacana Group is an insistence on including the entire
province in its development plans, as opposed to focusing only on the home municipality. This has earned
the enterprise the recognition of several provincial organizations and different communities within La Al-
tagracia.
Presently, Punta Cana is more than a hotel; it is a chain of hotels under the Group’s oversight. Punta Cana
is more than a beach; it is an international airport. It exudes its own energy and manifests through the social
initiatives headed by the Foundations. It is also a city that grows at a steady pace, taking in local tourists as well
as professionals fleeing from the pressures of city life and into a place where safety and order are paramount.
