NEW DOMINICAN REPUBLIC RESORT TO INCLUDE DEVELOPMENT OF TWO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS

Costa BayanA Plans Multi-Million Aviation Development

MIAMI: Puerto Luperon Corporation, an international real estate development company, announced today the creation of two international airports to service Costa BayanA, its collection of five-star, marina residential resorts located on the Dominican Republic's North Coast.

Costa BayanA will be constructed over the next 8-10 years, with the first phase of the first resort, AtlanticA, to be completed in December 2006 for the Grand Opening.

"Costa BayanA is poised to become a leading luxury resort and yachting destination in the Caribbean," said Pierre Schnebelen, President of Puerto Luperon Company.  "By building both a commercial and a smaller aviation airport, we are making the Costa BayanA experience accessible to residents and visitors from the moment they land in their own private jets or by commercial airline."

With a landing strip of 3,000 meters (3,280 yards), the airports will include 40 private jet hangers, and passenger and cargo facilities.  Initial air service will include connections to North American and European gateways such as Santo Domingo, San Juan, Miami, New York, Frankfurt, Munich, Madrid, London, Paris, Milan and Rome.

Both airports will be approximately a 10-minute drive from Costa BayanA's OceanA Residential Resort, and about 1 hour with a hydrofoil service to AtlanticA and BayanA - developed on 11,000 acres and 20 miles of Dominican Republic coastline between Puerto Plata and Montecristi.   The commercial airport will be located near OceanA, west of the Bay of Luperon near Montecristi.  The general aviation airport will be built between the AtlanticA and BayanA resorts.

The Costa BayanA luxury resorts will include six signature golf courses, 260 super yacht hangers, three cruise ship piers and terminals, hotels, restaurants and real estate priced from $300,000 to $5.2 million.
