Viana rejects extension of '21st-century campsite' contract

The Viana do Castelo municipality rejected on Tuesday a request by FeelEverywhere to extend the concession from 20 to 25 years for a new tourism project on the site of the former Orbitur campsite in Cabedelo, Darque. It also refused a request to defer rent payments of 12,500 euros per month until operations begin. The project, aimed at caravanning and glamping, has seen its investment rise from 2.9 million to 4 million euros, with plans to increase jobs from 22 to 32 and motorhome pitches from 37 to 42. The refusal is based on the lack of construction work on site; the request will be reconsidered once work starts.
