Business View Caribbean | June 2022

24 BUSINESS VIEW CARIBBEAN VOLUME 9, ISSUE 6 agenda? Chin: I have a couple of projects that were held back by the impact of COVID. One of them I call my “Dinopark” here in Trinidad. Construction is going on – it’s not a huge park, under two acres, but you can do a walk-through and take photographs. All the dinosaurs move their heads and their eyes and make noises – the T-rex opens his big mouth… which all kids love! And it ties in with the Jurassic World movie that was recently released. It’s perfect for us to do joint marketing. I think it will be a beautiful park; we have about 25 species of dinosaurs, so it will be very educational for the children, and we have a merchandising store, which will be great as well. I’m really excited about it! “Also, in Guyana, I’ve invested in a carousel, which they don’t have and I hope it will bring families out to the mall in big numbers to enjoy the fun, family atmosphere. And I’ll be pursuing the agri-processing / food merchandising business with my sons. People have been quite kind over the years and I have just under 2000 employees in total at the Dachin Group of Companies that are all very important. Overall, I just really enjoy business and look forward to the good things ahead.” PREFERRED VENDOR/PARTNER n ANSA McAL Limited 11 Maraval Road, Port of Spain, Trinidad www.ansamcal.com
