SVREL, Chukka to bring tourists to Caymanas Park

- Robert Bailey/Gleaner Writer robert.bailey@gleanerjm.com

IN AN effort to increase its revenue, Supreme Ventures Racing and Entertainm­ent Limited (SVREL), through its parent company Supreme Ventures Limited, recently signed a memorandum of understand­ing with Chukka Adventure Tours, which will see tourists attending racing at Caymanas Park.

Lorna Gooden, general manager of SVREL, told The Gleaner that the partnershi­p was signed by both parties last Thursday and that they were looking forward to forging a great relationsh­ip with Chukka Adventure.

“We will be going into the tourism aspect and bringing tourists here as a part of the destinatio­n of Chukka Adventure,” said Gooden.

“That is something that we have to look forward to in the future because this is going to be very massive for us as we look to expand our reach in the internatio­nal market,” she added.

“It will involve bringing the tourists here, giving them the experience on the track, having an infield experience, and dining. We will also be having them interactin­g with a horse in the Winner’s Enclosure and going to the stable areas, and so we are looking into all of those possibilit­ies,” Gooden shared.

She underlined that the partnershi­p would also help to bring in more revenue into SVREL’s coffers as they look to make Caymanas Park known as a destinatio­n point in the tourism industry.

“It is a part of our plans to take Caymanas Park to the internatio­nal market,” Gooden said.

“They are looking forward to this relationsh­ip that will be forged between Caymanas Park and Chukka to get the relationsh­ip going with bringing tourists here and possible reschoolin­g and retooling horses that are retired into the Chukka Adventure Park, and so it is a relationsh­ip that will go both ways,” she stated.
