1. Executive Summary
Travel related development on the island of Roatan is poised to explode
offering a ground floor investment opportunity! The increased number of
visitors will overwhelm the existing competitors opening the door to a
profitable enterprise in a very short period of time. A short bus ride from the
cruise ship docks is an eleven acre beachfront parcel of property ready to
accommodate guests. The proposed investment of $5 million includes $2.8
million for property acquisition and $2.2 million for infrastructure, vans,
water sports equipment, startup and development expenses.

Carnival Cruise Line has invested $65 million building Mahogany Bay, a
state of the art docking facility while Royal Caribbean and Norwegian cruise
lines have invested $45 million in remodeling and expanding the pier at
Coxen Hole enabling four massive cruise ships to dock simultaneously.
These facilities will substantially increase capacity, transporting in excess of
75,000 cruise ship passengers monthly to Roatan. Other development
projects in various stages of completion total in excess of $2 billion
including the $500 million Pristine Bay and Black Pearl, a luxury home and
Pete Dye golf resort project. Nikki Beach Hotels and Starwood/Westin are
also building major hotel and resort projects.

The island of Roatan, is located approximately 20 miles off the Honduran


coast in the Caribbean. Roatan is rated one of the top five scuba diving
locations in the world and is situated on the second largest barrier reef in the
world.

Currently the competition is mainly composed of small scale operators who


offer limited amenities. New hotels, residential development, and increased
cruise ship traffic will soon surpass the existing travel vendors and the time
is right to reap the benefits of this investment opportunity.

2. Proposal

The new docking facilities allow four large cruise ships to dock
simultaneously, doubling the islands cruise ship potential.
Estimates from Carnival Cruise Lines are in excess of 500,000 passengers
the first year from the new facility. Over one million visitors will descend on
Roatan annually. A modest investment of $5 million will produce annual net
operating income of $2 million. The essential ingredients are a developable
beachfront property covered in old growth trees located on a paved road
with available utilities in close proximity to the cruise ship docks.

The proposed development will provide beach front activities, including


food & beverage service, souvenirs, water sports and bus transportation from
the cruise ship docks for land bound passengers. Services are coordinated
and prepaid through the cruise ship activities director with registrations and
passes provided beforehand. The activity pass includes transportation, entrée
and one beverage service with the cruise ship retaining 50% of any revenue
they book as commissions. All other services are exempt from cruise ship
commissions and may include souvenirs, food, beverages and equipment
rentals.

3. Roatan

The island of Roatan is 3 miles wide and 33 miles long, located 28 miles off
the Northeast Shore of Honduras. Roatan has tropical terrain overlooking the
dramatic shoreline with beautiful white sandy beaches. The awesome
scenery is interrupted occasionally by small fishing villages. Roatan has a
mountainous backbone that provides a splendid view from any point. The
island is totally surrounded by coral reefs, one which is the second largest in
the world. It is consistently rated in the top five scuba diving locations in the
world. The waters surrounding Roatan are full of offshore big game fish and
exotic tropical fish. Depending on the weather and the time of year you can
expect to see Marlin, Tuna, Wahoo, Barracuda, Dorado (bull dolphin) and
Spanish Mackerel. The average temperature in Roatan year round is about
80 º Fahrenheit or 28 º Celsius with the trade winds providing a gentle
breeze.

4. Corozal Yacht & Beach Club
The club will be situated on eleven acres of beautiful beach front, providing
full food service, bar, and gift shop amenities. The beach front is a short ride
from the ships yet offers a break from the cruise line atmosphere. Visitors
can relax on the beach as they enjoy concierge services including food,
snacks, and beverages. Numerous water activities including scuba diving,
snorkeling, sailing, personal water craft and fishing will be available.
Equipment for these activies will be offered as rentals. Guides and/or
instructors will also be available for hire. Charter fishing, hiking, guided
island tours and zip lining are other optional activities that could be offered.
The club would be open every day, drawing customers from ships, airplanes,
hotels and walk up traffic.

Proposed fees for a day at the beach would be $50, scuba diving $75, scuba
diving including equipment rental $175 and fishing excursions would range
from $250 to $750.

5. Carnival / Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines
Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian are a few of the cruise lines that
service Roatan. Carnival Cruise Lines conducted extensive market research
and has invested $65 million in building the new Mahogany Bay docking
facility designed to accommodate two massive cruise ships simultaneously,
opening November 21, 2009.

The Norwegian/Royal Caribbean lines $45 million upgraded and expanded


facility was recently completed at Coxen Hole. Between the two docking
structures, thirty ships currently scheduled will transport approximately
75,000 passengers monthly, exponentially increasing visitor traffic.

6. Transportation

Roatan expanded their International Airport in the last few years with non-
stop flights to Houston, New Orleans, Miami, Atlanta, New Jersey and
Edmonton, Canada. Airlines include Continental, Delta and Taca. There are
four direct non-stop flights a week from Canada, two from Milan and two
from Spain. Local airlines are Taca, Islania, Sosa and Atlantic with daily
flights to the mainland of Honduras. The Galaxy Ferry provides daily
service to Le Ceiba and has a capacity of 450 passengers.

7. Competition

Currently there are a small number of competitors on the island catering to


cruise ships. Most competitors are small scale offering a limited number of
services and simply cannot handle the increased traffic. Furthermore, some
of the rivals cater exclusively to cruise ship patrons, remaining closed for
business when ships are not in port.

8. Phase #2: Timeshares & Fractional Ownerships

Additional income opportunities include the development of a Boutique


timeshare magnifying the Yacht & Beach club facilities. The tour business
would provide a constant stream of potential clients at zero cost.

This is a unique opportunity to combine two dynamic profit centers in the


same location utilizing capital improvements shared by the day beach club
and time share guests. The construction of a single multi purpose building
hosting food, beverage and souvenir services will provide cost effective
amenities. The potential income of phase 2 would dramatically exceed the
beach club operations with a minimal additional investment.

At Corozal, with an additional investment of $500k, a second income source


could be much larger than the beach club. With the modest investment the
developer would have a great model complex and three to six hundred
people a day to view it with no added expense. By having the models on site
it avoids the necessity of spending $400 or more per unit to get prospects to
view the offering.
