These are long-term development plans of the company. If you look at companies in tourism, they are all old, listed from the time of mass privatization and not seen much interest from major shareholders to share their profits with the minority shareholders. Orpheus Club Wellness AD will be quite different as issuer, which is fair and honest to their shareholders.
