Mystery investors edge forward with Baltic Tourist Center

The Interior Ministry has permitted Baltic Center Polska (BTC), a company belonging to mysterious Scandinavian investors, to acquire a 220 hectare plot along the coast. They plan to construct a huge Baltic Tourist Center in Ustron Morski and Kolobrzeg, which will boast an airport, aqua park, golf course and a marina, worth close to zl. 1.2 billion. However, BTC has refused to reveal detailed information about the investors and the undertaking. Company president, Malgorzata Parzychowska-Czarnota stated that these will be unveiled in November. "To start with, the investors will receive a plot with perpetual usufruct. The sale will be finalized after 50% of the airport has been constructed so we can make sure that the land will be used according to the proposal," said Mayor of Ustron Morski, Stanislaw Zielinski. The project will take between six to ten years to complete and construction should begin by the end of 2003. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 12) M.M.
