With the new funds, the Company states it has a mechanism to begin its growth plans in 2023 and beyond. This includes infrastructure and amenity expansion for its luxury vineyard estate development, Algodon Wine Estates, with the goal of increasing land value and revenues of its residential villas and commercial elements. The funds are also intended for the Company's high end wine products, Algodon Fine Wines, which includes marketing efforts to further increase revenues via distribution channels, e-commerce sales and international markets, such as Argentina's neighbor Brazil, the world's 3rd largest market for online wine sales. The Company intends to continue efforts to scale the growth of its leather goods and accessories brand, Gaucho - Buenos Aires, which celebrated its flagship opening last year at the Miami Design District, located among the likes of widely recognized luxury retail brands such as Off White, Bottega Veneta, Gucci, and Chanel, and many others. The Company intends to target e-commerce revenue growth with an aggressive marketing campaign, as well the anticipated forthcoming launch of its Resort Collection and a luggage + travel accessories collection, later this year. Furthermore, the funds may also be used for strategic investment under the Company's Gaucho Development Group to increase stockholder equity.
Scott Mathis, CEO & Chairman of Gaucho Holdings, previously commented, "In the next 24 to 36 months our extraordinary real estate project is expected to have a new destination spa, world class gym facilities, an 18-hole golf course expansion, and more vineyard casitas as well. Anticipated for Q4 2023, the restaurant renovation and final touches on the upgrade to the winery will allow them to now accommodate weddings and corporate events, and other large gatherings. In addition, the San Rafael airport is being expanded and the runway improved for larger aircraft and more traffic. These can positively impact our ADRs and occupancy rates, as well as the value of our residential lots. Of our two hospitality properties, one of them currently generates positive cash flow through lease revenues and will be accretive to the company, and we expect the other to have substantial development opportunities. We believe both are in prime areas ripe for development, and we believe the valuation of the real estate is positioned to allow for substantial appreciation in the years ahead. Across all of our companies, we now have the means to up our game and get our story out to the world as we continue to grow."
