First off, in terms of the concession I'm glad to hear about LaTerrat and that you're seeing an improvement there.
4:40:04
As you know, we recently just we did all of those contracts and Diker Beach included.
4:40:13
And so part of it's a 20 year agreement, and we'll be looking very closely at their ongoing operations and making sure that they are doing what they need to do to keep up the facilities.
4:40:24
Absolutely.
4:40:25
I'm glad to hear that's happening at Lark Teret.
4:40:27
And Diker will make sure we stay on top of that as well.
4:40:30
Our concessionaires provide a valuable service.
4:40:33
As you know, and do contribute to that livelihood of the park.
4:40:38
And we want to make sure that they are doing living up to their contract and doing what they need to do.
4:40:43
So that's something that our revenue concessions division is very much on top of it.
4:40:48
We'll continue to be and especially we'll take a look at Daikar and make sure that is the case.
