Corendon makes a bid for Veneto Hotel

WILLEMSTAD - Corendon has made an offer for the property of the Veneto Holiday Beach Hotel. Spokesman Simone van Beek said that the travel organization is very interested in the hotel and is now waiting for approval from the judge.

What amount is required is not known. Van Beek emphasizes that interest only applies to the hotel, not for the casino or the restaurant. Buildings and possessions were supposed to be auctioned last week, but that was held by Corendon's request for private sales.

The judge must now rule whether the level of the bid is acceptable and whether an auction will not yield more.
