Zagreb, Nov 8 (IANS) Construction has begun on Croatia's largest tourism project, the Pical 5 Resort, with an investment of 139 million euros (149.83 million US dollars), local media reported Friday.

Visitors will also be able to enjoy eight themed restaurants with menus crafted by Michelin (EPA:MICP) chefs, along with 10 bars offering drinks and signature cocktails, the report added, noting that the project is expected to create over 700 new jobs and improve local residents' quality of life/
