The government, that convened in Pula on Thursday, adopted a decision for four new tourism projects at various locations around Istria - Veliki Brijun, Muzil, Hidrobaza and Saccorgiana - which are supposed to be rezoned for tourism and thus attract investments of about HRK 3 billion. The government has decided to establish a task force to prepare and implement tourism development projects on the Veliki Brijun island.
The Andrej Plenkovic cabinet also okayed the conclusion of an agreement to define the conditions, rights and obligations for the Muzil, Hidrobaza and Saccorgiana projects which have for years been waiting for a solution for their revitalisation and rezoning as tourism sites.
State Assets Minister Goran Maric said these localities should be returned to life and will activate more than a million hectares of land.
The land and facilities in all four localities are mainly owned by the state.
The Muzil site will be handed over to the City of Pula and will be rezoned for tourism purposes and it is estimated that the project could attract investments of about HRK 2.5 billion.
The Saccorgiana site, a former army barracks can be transformed into a tourist facility with 1,900 beds including sports, retail and other commercial facilities and could be an investment of about HRK 250 million. (Hina)
