The MovieTowne entertainment complex at Turkeyen is set for opening on February 21st next year, according to Trinidad business magnate Derek Chin.

He made the announcement at the Cou­va-Point Lisas Cham­ber of Com­merce an­nu­al Christ­mas Din­ner at the Cham­ber’s Au­di­to­ri­um at Cam­den Road, Cou­va, on Wednes­day night, according to a report in the Trinidad Guardian.

Construction of the entertainment complex which will feature cinemas, other entertainment and restaurants has faced several delays.

During his address, Chin also urged Trinidadian businessmen to invest in Guyana in light of its likely oil wind­fall by 2020. He said his in­vest­ment in Guyana – where he was born – has at­tract­ed in­ter­na­tion­al chain Hard Rock Café along with Massy Stores, which is putting up a 60,000 square foot su­per­store. He said with Guyana ex­pect­ed to de­liv­er 700,000 bar­rels of oil dai­ly in due course, Trinidadian busi­ness­men should not get left out.
