From the International Airport HUB to the International Eco Town HUB:
In the globalization and new information technology era, there is an increasing demand of “new cities” from the emerging new economies of Far East Asia Region that still doesn’t’ have a physical place to take place yet in Europe.
It is not a new demand; for millenniums the men created villages, towns and cities.
This time the demand of living, enjoying, studying, working, relaxing, creating new business and ideas is just “de-localized” or GLOBALIZED. People, families and business men from different region of Far East Asia (such as Japan, South Korea, China, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar) asking for a great place to spend their vacation and at the same time and in the same place, having the facilities to create new ideas and new business in Europe.
Marathona eco town can become the first international city hub: a place with history, natural landscapes, facilities to give to its residents and visitors a point of connection between East and West, a gateway to Europe and Far East Asia.
