Some good news are reaching out of Korcula’s local Hotel Company : Hotel Marko Polo in Korcula is currently undergoing refurbishment…

This well known Korcula hotel was first opened in June 1972 and since then was hardly improved at all.

The refurbishment of the hotel will be conducted in 2 phases, and once completed; Marco Polo Hotel will be the first and only four star hotel on the Island.

As the beginning of the tourist season in April 2006 is a pretty tight deadline, in this first phase, the improvements will be focused on hotel?s bedrooms, which will get air-conditioning and new telephone system, as well as new bathrooms and furnishings.

In second phase, which is due to start in October 2006, the revamp will be finished and new indoor and outdoor swimming pools, fitness and wellness centre will be added to existing facilities.

This is very good news for Korcula’s tourist industry, as it proves things are moving on after terrible suffering in 1990′s due to Balkan conflict.
