Addressing the ’22nd Annual Capital Link Forum – Invest in Greece’ last week, Mario Kontomerkos, CEO of Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment, expressed his belief in the viability of the project in Greece. “It has the privilege of a temperate climate all year round, it is located in a place with amazing views, sunny, by the sea and with a nice atmosphere. The capital is home to 4 million people, while 19 countries are within 2 hours by plane.
