The government has decided that in new mixed resort projects, which combine tourist facilities with residential units, the construction area for residential purposes may not exceed 40% of the total. At least 60% must be designated for tourism functions. The rules are set out in decision no. 842, dated 5 November 2026, of the Council of Ministers, which was published in the Official Gazette on Monday and thus enters into force. The decision also stipulates that apartments, villas and rooms intended for tourist accommodation in new projects cannot be classified as separate structures. They must be included in the joint administration of the resort.
