Last I read, it had been anchored from moving, and they were pumping out
the fuel before trying to float it and tow it away.

I think the OP meant Italy but put Greece in error.

Well Costa Concordia will not be raised to make a floating hotel, but will be raised and scrapped.

Last I've read: no decision has been made, and won't be until it's
floated, towed to a port, and inspected. But there are really only two
choices: sell as scrap; or refurbished to working condition.

I could be wrong but I'd think that the longer it sits underwater, the
greater the likelihood of it being scrapped.

There's also the question: If refurbished, and sold or returned to
cruising, can that cost be recovered in a reasonable time, and the ship
made profitable?

I'm sure there are lots of factors affecting the decision of refurbishing
or scrapping. One I can think of that has more to do with superstition
than the ship itself: Will enough people sail on a ship that sank to
make a profit?

the ship will be scrapped, after raising it (for over 100 million Euro) the cost to refurbish would add to a price higher than building a new ship.
