The project supposes the generation of thousands of uses, the local manual labor figure like priority, besides to obtain that the tourism in this bay truely is an activity that has benefit for the zone.
The generation of local and national taxes also comprises of the benefits that the construction of this project would generate, because it is considered that an increase of the availability of circulating would exist and, why no, the promotion of the tourism.

He emphasized that in the construction of this work, that includes a peatonal stroll, a reserve of marine fauna and a hotel category five stars respetara' the naturalness of the rocky zone, we are not going to penetrate to the sea, everything is going to be constructed on the existing rocky mantle.

As far as the possible disappearance of the marine fauna near the project, a made study concluded that there will be no affectation.
A malaise that hung in the sanjuaneños is that this work amenaza. the cliff Cara of the Indian, one of the patrimonies more appraised by the villagers, situation that was denied by the investors who assured that its interest is to preserve so important natural vestige of the bay.
Cara of the Indian. it is a rock that resembles an indigenous profile, arisen of natural way between the cliffs that border the bay.
The other components of megaproyecto are the construction of a navy, a golf course, communitarian areas, mountain development, ecoturístico development and urbanizations.
IN PRO And AGAINST
The sanjuaneños were animated by the idea of the approval of the megainversión to consider it like una key that cannot be despised to obtain the progress, according to honored the architect Eduardo Chamorro Colonel.
Chamorro compared this opportunity with the mighty beginnings of Acapulco and Vallarta Port (both famous Mexican bath).
Some industralists with businesses in San Juan of the South gave their total endorsement to the work, is the case of Rafaela Bristle, proprietor of the Hotel Pacific Marlin, that said that in spite of the possibility of seeing itself affected with works, en this moment cannot be thought only about one, we must think about a community with a 80 percent of unemployment.
Still with some doubts without clarifying, to the Norinda retailer Farm he said that to the project acarreara' more tourism and more commerce, but than he will benefit only to a select sector, to the time that criticized the little communication that maintains the municipal authorities with the population.
San Juan of the South account with the singular record to maintain sandinista authorities to the front of the Commune from 1979.
Farm considered that the very good project esta', but we needed to know more of the pro and the cons and knowledge of the benefits.
