For a price of 31,000 euros, the Private Capital Company with the name “Mountain Tourism IKE” won the 23-year lease process of the ski center “3-5 Pigadia” in Naoussa. The deal is expected to be inked in the next few days.
Among the commitments undertaken with the candidacy of the contractor of the ski center “3-5 Pigadia”, as the mayor of Naoussa Nikolas Karanikolas told state news agency AMNA, are the investment of 500,000 euros in the first two years of operation, but also the search for additional resources, through currently available financing tools, such as that of the development law.
“The goal of the contractor is the integrated management of the ski resort, so that it becomes a mountain resort that will attract visitors 12 months a year”, Mr. Karanikolas underlined and added that among the investments, the operation of a four-star hotel complex in the ski center is envisaged.
In addition, the mayor of Naoussa announced that by the end of February at the latest, the municipality of Naoussa will have submitted a dossier for approval to the Public Investment Program, requesting the approval of funding of at least 10.7 million euros for investments in the ‘3-5 Pigadia’ ski resort.
“The desire of all those involved is for the ski center to start operating as soon as possible,” said Mr. Karanikolas, adding that under certain conditions this seems possible.
