The former state operator of Zagreb Airport, Zagreb Airport Ltd. (not to be confused with the current operator Medjunarodna Zračna Luka Zagreb – MZLZ) has failed to attract investors for the construction of a new hotel and a retail and business complex as part of its planned “airport city” development, valued at around forty million euros. Following the launch of an international public tender last year, no investors came forward, and a repeated call also failed to generate any interest. An email invitation was sent to 5.783 addresses worldwide, targeting investors, hotel chains and advisors in the hospitality sector. The company noted 32.2% of emails were opened, and there were a total of 97 visits to the Zagreb Airport website where the tender conditions were published. However, no actual applications were submitted. “Unfortunately, even after the second repeated call we did not receive a single expression of interest. To submit an expression of interest, applicants were required to file the appropriate registration and pay a fee of 5.000 euros as proof of serious intent”, the company said.
