In the decision approved by KIS, it is stated that the company "Investment and Development Albania" will invest over 18 million euros for the construction of an elite tourist structure called "Green House Korça Resort". This project contains a 5-star hotel, with a total capacity of 94 rooms, restaurants, bars, SPA, etc. and anticipates employing 94 people in this resort. According to the project, the hotel to be built will be managed by the well-known international hotel brand "Acor".
