"access to 15 UNESCO World Heritage Sites across the region."

UNESCO World Heritage Sites are landmarks or areas—natural or man-made—recognized by an international body for their outstanding cultural, historical or environmental value. For investors, the designation acts like a high-profile badge that can boost tourism, local business activity and property appeal while also bringing stricter conservation rules and possible limits on development; think of it as both a popularity boost and a longer-term planning constraint.
