The Cabo Branco Tourist Hub, in João Pessoa, will receive a new tourism, leisure and shopping complex. The project is from the WAM Experience chain, a company that manages 11 hotels and resorts in five states, operates water parks, and maintains a loyalty program with more than 100 thousand customers. The investment is approximately R$500 million.
The project will occupy 130 thousand square meters. The project envisages the construction of a hotel tower with 480 apartments, outlet with stores from recognized brands, an 80-meter panoramic ferris wheel and a gastronomic village. The complex will also have space for shows and events, contemplative trails and a theme park with a roller coaster.
According to Lucas Fiuza, CEO of WAM Experience, the objective is to create a space that serves both tourists and residents of the region. “The project was designed to enhance local culture and promote economic development,” he stated in a press release.
