Around 15 investment projects are currently underway in Messinia, Argolida and other areas in Greece, Development Minister Adonis Georgiadis said on Monday.
Speaking to Skai radio station, the minister referred specifically to the 120-million-euro tourism project in Kassiopi on Corfu that recently began construction works.
According to the minister, the result of the investment will be seen directly in the economy, as 600 jobs will be created during construction, followed by a total of more than 1,000 new jobs when the project is completed.
NCH Capital, the investor of the Kassiopi project, on Friday announced that the process of demolishing old buildings on the site had begun. The investor is aiming to create a “model tourism village” for which all the people of Corfu and Greece will be proud.
