A Chinese investor is planning to build a $3-million, three-story, 138-room hotel along 8th Avenue and Kammer Beach in San Jose, Tinian. <\/p>\n
The Tinian Hairui Real Estate Co. LLC is proposing to build and operate the Xingsha Hotel, which will have 112 parking spaces, a storage area, lobby and reception, snack bar, kitchen, and a dining area with 24 seats. <\/p>\n
In a phone interview yesterday, He Guo Qiang, a representative of Tinian Hairui Real Estate Co. LLC, disclosed that the owner, Xingsheng Zhuang, decided to invest on Tinian due to the lack of hotel rooms on the island.<\/p>\n
Zhuang first went to Tinian in 2014 or 2015 to look for business opportunities. He then leased a land on Tinian for a planned hotel, whose target guests are Chinese tourists. <\/p>\n
Qiang said that Zhuang owns a hotel and a construction company in China.<\/p>\n
Qiang said they are very happy with the support they got from many Tinian people during Tuesday\u2019s public hearing at the Tinian Elementary School\u2019s cafeteria.<\/p>\n
The Division of Coastal Resources Management conducted the public hearing for Tinian Hairui Real Estate Co. LLC\u2019s coastal application for a major siting permit.<\/p>\n
Qiang said the hotel project is good for Tinian\u2019s economy and will also benefit local workers.<\/p>\n
In an interview last May, Tinian Mayor Edwin Aldan underscored the need to have more hotel rooms on the island. Right now, Tinian only has 52 rooms for tourists.<\/p>\n
Aldan said that people from off-island and tourists usually just spend the day on the island, despite wanting to stay overnight, enjoy the sunset, and have dinner at the beach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
