Tourism Info Center was opened in Mtskheta

New Tourism Info Center was opened in the newly rehabilitated part of Mtskheta with the initiative of National Tourism Agency.

The Info Center was opened by Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia, Vera Kobalia, and Chief of National Investment Agency, Maia Sidamonidze.

They examined the newly opened center with the representatives of the regional administration. During the interview with journalists, Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development noted that Mtskheta is one of the most important tourism places; the tourism center will enable the visitors to obtain detailed information about various services and plan their route in a better way.

Moreover, according to Vera Kobalia, National Tourism Agency is working on the creation of a unified network of info centers. Sighnaghi, Kvareli, Mestia, and Kutaisi info centers have already been opened and similar centers will also be opened in Gori, Tbilisi International Airport, Batumi, Zugdidi and Anaklia in the nearest future.

Mtskheta Tourism Info Center will provide information not only about transportation, accommodation and diners, but it will also provide various services and excursion routes. The Tourism Info Centers will also provide 24/7 internet connection to the visitors free of charge.

120 thousand people visited Mtskheta in 2010; 87% of them were sightseeing; 3% of the visits were organized by tour operators. Most of the visitors were from Israel, Germany, France, USA, Russia, Japan, England and Ukraine.

Mtskheta City is one of the most important attractions of Eastern Georgia, which is visited by most of the visitors despite their aim of the visit. The History of Mtsketa originates from the third millennium B.C. That is precisely why it has so many historical monuments. The former Capital of Georgia is famous for its historical, religious, architectural and archaeological monuments. Effective surroundings and reconstructed parts of old Mtskheta are interesting to tourists with any taste.

The temples in Mtskheta and its surroundings are visited by pilgrims and married couples throughout the year. Besides various monuments, Mtskheta is attractive to foreign tourists because of its location; Mtskheta is quite close to current Capital City Tbilisi. Mtskheta can be named as a year-round tourism destination since it is visited by tourists throughout the whole year.

მცხეთაში ტურიზმის საინფორმაციო ცენტრი გაიხსნა

ტურიზმის ეროვნული სააგენტოს ინიციატივითა და ორგანიზებით მცხეთის რეაბილიტირებულ ნაწილში ტურიზმის საინფორმაციო ცენტრი გაიხსნა.

მცხეთის ტურიზმის საინფორმაციო ცენტრი საქართველოს ეკონომიკისა და მდგრადი განვითარების მინისტრმა ვერა ქობალიამ და ტურიზმის ეროვნული სააგენტოს თავმჯდომარემ მაია სიდამონიძემ გახსნეს.

მათ სამხარეო ადმინისტრაციის წარმომადგენლებთან ერთად დაათვალიერეს ახლადგახსნილი ცენტრი. როგორც ეკონომიკისა და მდგრადი განვითარების მინისტრმა ჟურნალისტებთან საუბრისას აღნიშნა, მცხეთა ერთ-ერთი უმნიშვნელოვანესი ტურისტული ადგილია, ტურიზმის საინფორმაციო ცენტრის კი ვიზიტორებს დაეხმარება, უფრო დეტალური ინფორმაცია და მომსახურება მიიღონ, და შესაბამისად, უკეთესად დაგეგმონ საკუთარი ტურისტული მარშრუტი.

ამასთან, ვერა ქობალიას განცხადებით, ტურიზმის ეროვნული სააგენტო მუშაობას აგრძელებს ტურიზმის საინფორმაციო ცენტრების ერთიანი ქსელის შექმნაზე. უკვე გაიხსნა სიღნაღის, ყვარლის, მესტიის, ქუთაისის საინფორმაციო ცენტრები, უახლოეს მომავალში ტურისტული ცენტრები გაიხსნება გორში, თბილისის საერთაშორისო აეროპორტში, ბათუმში, ზუგდიდსა და ანაკლიაში.

მცხეთის ტურიზმის საინფორმაციო ცენტრი ვიზიტორებს ინფორმაციას მიაწვდის როგორც გადაადგილების, განთავსებისა და კვების ობიექტების შესახებ, ასევე მათ სხვადასხვა სახის სერვისებსა და საექსკურსიო მომსახურებას შესთავაზებს. ამასთან, ტურიზმის საინფორმაციო ცენტრში მუდმივად იმუშავებს ინტერნეტკაფე, რომელიც ტურისტებს უფასოდ მოემსახურება.

2010 წლის განმავლობაში მცხეთას 120 ათასი ვიზიტორი ეწვია: მათი 87% დათვალიერების მიზნით სტუმრობდა; ტურისტების 3%-ის ვიზიტი ორგანიზებული იყო ტუროპერატორის მეშვეობით. მათ შორის ჭარბობდა ებრაელი, გერმანელი, ფრანგი, ამერიკელი, რუსი, იაპონელი, ინგლისელი, უკრაინელი ტურისტების რიცხვი.

ქ. მცხეთა აღმოსავლეთ საქართველოს ერთ-ერთი უმნიშვნელოვანესი ტურისტული ატრაქციაა, რომელსაც საქართველოში ჩამოსული უცხოელი ვიზიტორები, ჩამოსვლის მიზნის მიუხედავად, აუცილებლად სტუმრობენ. მცხეთის ისტორია ძველი წელთაღრიცხვის მესამე ათასწლეულიდან აითვლება და მისი სიმდიდრე ისტორიული ძეგლებით სწორედ აქედან გამომდინარეობს. საქართველოს ძველი დედაქალაქი მდიდარია ისტორიული, რელიგიური, არქიტექტორული თუ არქეოლოგიური ძეგლებით. ეფექტური შემოგარენი და რეკონსტრუირებული ძველი მცხეთის უბნები ყველა გემოვნების ტურისტისთვის საინტერესოა.

მცხეთაში და მის შემოგარენში არსებულ ტაძრებს უამრავი მომლოცველი და მექორწილე სტუმრობს წლის განმავლობაში. უცხოელი ტურისტებისთვის მიმზიდველი, გარდა მრავალფეროვანი ძეგლებისა, ყოფილი სატახტო ქალაქი თბილისთან ახლოს მდებარეობითა და ადვილად ხელმისაწვდომობის გამოა. მცხეთას შეიძლება ვუწოდოთ ოთხივე სეზონის ტურისტული ადგილი, ვინაიდან ვიზიტორები მას წლის ნებისმიერ დროს სტუმრობენ.

Mtksheta opens tourist information center

A new tourist information center has been opened in Mtskheta, Georgia’s capital in ancient times. The center, the fifth of its kind in Georgia is operated by the National Tourism Agency.

Vera Kobalia, Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development, explained that as Mtskheta is one of the most important places in the country for tourism, the center will be an essential resource for visitors who will be able to “access detailed information about various services and plan their trips in a better way.”

The new Mtskheta center will provide information about transport, accommodation and dining, as well helping tourists plan their trips. In addition, a round-the-clock internet connection will be available for visitors free of charge.

Such centers have already been established in Sighnaghi and Kvareli in east Georgia’s Kakheti region, as well as in Mestia in mountainous Svaneti, and Kutaisi in west Georgia. More information centers are expected to open soon at Tbilisi International Airport, the city of Gori in central Georgia, Batumi on the Black Sea Coast, and in Zugdidi and Anaklia – both in west Georgia.

According to National Tourism Agency, 120 thousand people visited Mtskheta in 2010 and 87% of them were on sightseeing tours. The majority of the visitors were from Israel, Germany, France, the USA, Russia, Japan, England and the Ukraine.

Rehabilitation works on the ancient Svetitskhoveli cathedral’s – the most popular of the city’s sights – have been finished. As a result of the repairs, the exterior and interior of the Cathedral have been completely overhauled.

The rehabilitation of this historic part of Mtskheta has been financed by the Presidential Reserve Fund and the local budget. The process is ongoing and will be finally completed within the next three years.

While visiting the reconstruction works at Mtskheta recently, Mikheil Saakashvili said that that the rehabilitated part of Mtskheta will receive new commercial centers and tourist zones which will help the development of the local economy and boost tourism.

“When I had foreign guests [I rarely visited] Mtskheta as there were [dilapidated] huts all around, I preferred to take them to Sighnaghi.” Saakashvili said. “Now [visitors] can spend their weekends here with great pleasure. We will provide a combination of Sharden and Montmartre.”

საქართველოს პრეზიდენტმა ფოთში რადარის გახსნის ცერემონიაზე საზოგადოებას სიტყვით მიმართა
მოგესალმებით ყველას.
დღეს ჩვენ ვასრულებთ მორიგ დაპირებას. საფრანგეთის მხარესთან ერთად ვხსნით ახალ, თანამედროვე რადარს, რომელიც არა მხოლოდ საჰაერო სივრცეს გააკონტროლებს უკეთესად, არამედ, რეალურად, საფუძველს უქმნის ფოთის ახალ, დიდ საერთაშორისო აეროპორტს.
საქართველოს მომავლის ჩვენეული ხედვა, საქართველოს მოდერნიზაციის 2015 წლის გეგმა, გულისხმობს იმას, რომ 2015 წელს საქართველოში ორჯერ მეტი შემოსავალი იქნება ერთ სულ მოსახლეზე; ასევე გულისხმობს იმას, რომ 2015 წელს საქართველოში იქნება მინიმუმ 5 მილიონი ტურისტი და ვარაუდობ, რომ სრული დატვირტვით ამუშავებდება ჩვენი მთელი საპორტო სისიტემა.
ფოთის ფორტი გახდება მთავარი კარიბჭე ჩრდილოეთ ჩინეთიდან და შუა აზიის ქვეყნებიდან, ევროპის მიმართულებით. ფოთი იქნება 100-პროცენტიანი დასაქმების ქალაქი და სამუშაო კადრების დეფიციტიც კი შეგვექმნება. სახელწიფო ქვეყნის განვითარებისთვის ყველაფერს გააკეთებს.
ჩვენი ამოცანა არ არის ის, რომ ათ, ოც და ოცდაათ წელიწადში ჰაერიდან მოტანილ პროექტებზე ვილაპარაკოთ. ჩვენი ამოცანა არის ის, რომ 2012 წელს ფოთის დიდი საერთაშორისო აეროპორტი ამუშავდეს. ეს იქნება აეროპორტი, რომესაც ოპერირების საშეალება ნებისმიერი ამინდის პირობებში ექნება.
ფოთის აეროპორტი მოემსახურება და გადაფარავს ბათუმს იმის მიუხედავად, რომ ბათუმშიც არის აეროპორტი. თუმცა ფოთში უფრო დიდი ასაფრენი ზოლი გვექნება. ჩვენ ვარაუდობთ, რომ 2012 წელს ბათუმში და მის შემოგარენში, მინიმუმ ორი მილიონი ტურისტი, დამსვენებელი და სტუმარი ჩამოვა.
ფოთი ასევე გადაფარავს მესტიას, სადაც 2012 წლისთვის ყველაზე ცნობილი და წარმატებული სათხილამურო კურორტი იქნება, მინიმუმ, აღმოსავლეთ ევროპაში.
ფოთის აეროპორტი გადაფარავს ანაკლიასაც, რომელიც აქედან, დაახლოებით, 15 წუთის სავალზეა. აქედან ანაკლიამდე გაიჭრება გზაც და ანაკლია იქნება ყველაზე განვითარებული საზღვაო კურორტი საქართველოსა და შავი ზღვისპირა ექვსი ქვეყნის მასშტაბით.
ეს არის ის გამოწვევა, რომელსაც მივიღებთ და გავაკეთებთ კიდეც. ყოველივე ამას ჩვენ 2012 წლისთვის გავაკეთებთ, ხოლო 2013 წელს მთელი ეს კომლექსი საბოლოოდ დასრულდება.
ამგვარად, ფოთის აეროპორტს აქვს სტრატეგიული მნიშვნელობა და ის მოემსახურება მომავლის ქვეყნის შექმნას - საქართველო კი სწორედ მომავლის ქვეყანაა.
საქართველო არის ქვეყანა, რომელსაც აქვს დიდი წარსული და დიდი ტრადიციები. ცოტაა ისეთი ქვეყანა, რომელსაც არა მარტო ამდენად დიდი წარსული აქვს, არამედ, ძალიან დიდი მომავლის მყარი გარანტიებიც.
იმედი გვაქვს, რომ მომავალ წელს მწყობრში შევიყვანთ ქუთაისის აეროპორტსაც.
აუცილებლად მივაღწევთ იმას, რომ აქ ბევრმა ავიაკომპანიამ იფრინოს. ასევე ვიზრუნებთ იმაზე, რომ ბილეთები ბაზარზე შესაძლო ვარიანტებიდან ყველაზე იაფი იყოს, რადგან ეს განაპირობებს უფრო მეტი ხალხის ჩამოსვლას. ამით ქართველებიც ისარგებლებენ და ადვილად შეძლებენ საქმიანი ვიზიტებით აქეთ-იქით გადაადგილებას, რაც უფრო დიდ პერსპექტივას შეუქმნის საქართველოს ეკონომიკას.
ამის პარალელურად, მომავალ წელს ფოთის პორტში იგეგემება ახალი, ძალიან დიდი ინვესტიციების განხორციელება. იცით, რომ გარშემო მშენებლობების დიდი ფრონტის გახსნას ვგეგმავთ. აშენდება არა მარტო ვაჭრობისა და ლოჯისტიკის იფრასტრუქტურა, არამედ ახალი, დიდი ჰიდროელექტროსადგურებიც, რომელთა მშენებლობა წელს დაიწყება და მომავალ წელს ფართოდ გაიშლება. იქ რამდენიმე ათეული ათასი ადამიანი დასაქმდება და რაც მთავარია ეს არის მილიარდობით დოლარის ინვესტიცია, რომელიც, რეალურად, აამუშავებს ინდუსტრიას.
ფოთში რამდენიმე საწარმოს და ქარხნის აშენებას ვარაუდობთ და ამასთან დაკავშირებით, უკვე არის გარკვეული კონტრაქტები და ვალდებულებები. ერთი სიტყვით რომ ვთქვათ, მიუხედავად იმისა, რომ ამ ქალაქში, როგორც მთლიანად საქართველოში ჯერ კიდევ ბევრი სოციალური პრობლემაა, ფოთი, როგორც ჩვენი ეკონომიკური წარმატების გარანტია და ქვეყნის განვითარების სიმბოლო, ნამდვილად დაგება ფეხზე და ბოლომდე გაიმართება წელში.
მინდა განსაკუთრებით, ხაზგასმით აღვნიშნო იმ თანამშრომლობის თაობაზე, რომელიც საფრანგეთის მხარესთან გვაქვს. მას შემდეგ, რაც თბილისში ჩვენი რადარები დაიბომბა, ფრანგებმა ზუსტად სამ-ოთხ თვეში დააყენეს ახალი რადარი. არასდროს მინახავს სადმე ასე ოპერატიულად ემოქმედოს რომელიმე საერთაშორისო პროგრამას, მათ შორის ჩვენთანაც, იმის მიუხედავად, რომ ჩვენც საკმაოდ სწრაფად ვაკეთებთ ყველაფერს. ძალზე მნიშვნელოვანია, რომ ამ რადარზეც ფრანგები მუშაობდნენ.
ჩვენ თანამშრომლების, საქართველოს იფრასტრუქტურის მოდერნიზაციის ძალიან დიდი გეგმები გვაქვს.
საფრანგეთს მსოფლიოში ერთ-ერთი საუკეთესო ინფრასტუქტურა და საინჟირნო გამოცდილება აქვს და საფრანგეთი დღეს, ალბათ, ყველაზე მეტად ეხმარება საქართველოს ქვეყნის მოდენიზაციის საქმეში სწორედ ამ მიმართულებით.

The President of Georgia addressed the society gathered at the ceremony of radar opening in Poti

Greetings.
Today we are fulfilling an ordinary promise. Together with the French side we are opening a new, modern radar that not only will control the air space in a better way, but at the same time will base a foundation to Poti new, big international airport.
Our vision of Georgia's future, modernization plan of Georgia by 2015 means that Georgia would have twice as much income as it has now per capita; it also means that more than 5 million tourists will visit Georgia by 2015 and I am assuming that all our port-system will get fully activated.
Port of Poti would become a main gait from the countries of Northern China and Middle Asian Countries in the direction of Europe. Poti will become a 100 percent employment city and we would even have deficiency in finding cadres. The state would do everything for the development of country. Our aim is not speaking about 10, 20 and 30 years projects. Our aim is to activate Poti International airport by 2012. It will be an airport that would be able to operate in any weather conditions.
Poti airport would serve and cover Batumi airport despite the fact that there is an airport in Batumi as well. However we will have bigger departure line in Poti. We are assuming that in 2012 more than two million tourists will visit Batumi and places nearby.
Poti will also cover Mestia, which will become the most famous and successful skiing resorts minimum in Eastern Europe.
Poti airport will also cover Anaklia that is on 15 km drive from here. A road will be constructed from Poti to Anaklia as well and Anaklia will be the most developed sea resort in Georgia and in 6 countries of black-sea region. This is a challenge that we will receive and would do it as well. We will do it all by 2012 and in 2013 this complex will end fully.
So, it means that Poti airport has a strategic importance and it will serve the development of future Georgia - Georgia is a country of future.
Georgia is a country that that has a great past and great traditions. There are just few countries that have not only such a great past, but also has firm warranties of a great future. We hope that next year we will activate Kutaisi airport as well.
We will have many air companies flying here. We will also try to have the cheapest prices from the existing choices, because it conditions the flow of many more tourists. Georgians will also use these opportunities and will be moving easily from one place to another and it will give much more perspectives to Georgian economy.
In parallel to this next year huge investments are planned in Poti. You know that we are planning to open a big construction projects nearby. Not only trade and logistics infrastructure will be constructed, but new hidroelectic stations as well. The construction will start this year and it will widely spread by next year. Several thousands of persons will be employed there and what's most important it is an investment worth of billions of USD that will activate the industry in real.
We are assuming to construct several enterprises and factories and we already have some agreements and obligations in this regard. So, despite the fact that in this city we still have many social problems Poti as the warrantor of our economic success and symbol of the development of our country would raise and become successful.
I want to specially underline the fact of cooperation that we have with French side. After our radars were bombed in Tbilisi - French people installed new radars in about three or four months. I have never heard about a program that was fulfilled in such a fast manner, among them in our country, we do everything in pretty fats way. It is very important that French side worked on this project.
Our colleagues have huge plans of Georgia's infrastructure's modernization.
France has one of the best infrastructure and engineering experience throughout the whole world and probably France helps Georgia more than any others in modernization exactly in this direction.

Azerbaijan invests $500m in Georgia’s economy - envoy
APRIL 29, 2011
"Azerbaijan and Georgia are strategic partners which means much in itself." The statement came from the Georgian ambassador to Azerbaijan Teymuraz Sharashenidze.

"Economics and politics, military-technical cooperation and economic sphere are very important areas of bilateral cooperation, and in all these areas the embassy is working in accordance with the tasks set by the center. Of course, there is a potential to expand and deepen relations. The trade turnover between our two countries has amounted to over $700 million over the past year,” the Georgian envoy said, reported AzerTAj.

“Very important energy and energy security projects are being developed like Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan, Baku-Supsa, Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum gas pipeline, AGRI gas pipeline project which is to pipe gas to Romania through Georgia and Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway project which is nearing completion.

“Representatives of Azerbaijani and Georgian sides guarantee that the railway will become operational in 2012,” Sharashenidze added.

“At the same time the Turkish government is going to complete construction of a railway tunnel under the Bosporus. This will be a single line to connect Western Europe and Asia. This is a very interesting project not only for economic but also political reasons," he continued.

As to his appointment, the diplomat noted that it was an honor for him to represent his country in Azerbaijan.

"The appointment as ambassador to Azerbaijan is a great honor for me because it is particularly important and responsible job to work in a friendly neighboring country. I arrived in Baku with great love and respect. I have great respect forthe people of Azerbaijan and love this country. I had met with many representatives of Azerbaijan before and our meetings have always been very warm. Therefore, this assignment was a great honor for me," the envoy said.

"The amount of investments of the Azerbaijani business in Georgia's economy is over $500 million while the Georgian capital investment is at a small level. Over the past year, about 2 million tourists tripped to Georgia with 498,000 of them being from Azerbaijan.

“The Black Sea resorts, particularly Adjara region and ski resorts, will see the largest number of tourists this year as renovation work has begun in Tskhaltubo resort town and the whole infrastructure will be upgraded and renovated by late 2012. Kazakh partners have made great investments in Borjomi and Borjomi Gorge, which have become modern resorts attended by numerous visitors," said the ambassador.

საქართველოს პრეზიდენტმა ქუთაისში ახალი საინფორმაციო ცენტრი გახსნა

საქართველოს პრეზიდენტმა ქუთაისში დღეს პროფესიული კოლეჯების საინფორმაციო ცენტრი გახსნა, რომელიც ადგილობრივ მოსახლეობას პროფესიის შერჩევასა და დასაქმებაში დაეხმარება. პროფესიული განათლების მიღების ნებისმიერ მსურველს უკვე შესაძლებლობა აქვს ამ ცენტრში გაიაროს რეგისტრაცია, აიჩიოს შესაბამისი კოლეჯი და დაეუფლოს ახალ პროფესიას; ხოლო კურსდამთავრებულები, ცენტრის მეშვეობით, ვაკანტურ ადგილებს მთელი ქვეყნის მასშტაბით მოიძიებენ.
მიხეილ სააკაშვილმა ქუთაისის პროფესიული კოლეჯიც დაათვალიერა და საქართველოს განათლებისა და მეცნიერების მინისტრთან ერთად, კიდევ ერთი ასეთი სასწავლებლის მშენებლობას ჩაუყარა საფუძველი. პროფესიულ სასწავლებელში პრეზიდენტი დასაქმებულ ადამიანებს შეხვდა და ასევე მათ, ვინც პროფესიულ განათლებას ეუფლება. კოლეჯში სულ 25 ხელობას ასწავლიან. მიხეილ სააკაშვილმა აქ მიმდინარე ყველა თეორიული და პრაქტიკული მეცადინეობების შესახებ დეტალური ინფორმაცია მიიღო.
მიხეილ სააკაშვილი დღესვე ზურაბ ჟვანიას სახელობის სახელმწიფო ადმინისტრირების სკოლას ესტუმრა, სადაც ქართულ ენას 80 ეთნიკური აზერბაიჯანელი ეუფლება. მათთან საუბრისას, პრეზიდენტმა აღნიშნა, რომ ეთნიკური უმცირესობების წარმომადგენელთა პროფესიული წინსვლისთვის ქართული ენის საფუძვლიანი ცოდნა ძალზე მნიშვნელოვანი და აუცილებელია. ქართული ენის შემსწავლელი გრძელვადიანი კურსები ზურაბ ჟვანიას სახელობის სახელმწიფო ადმინისტრირების სკოლაში სწორედ პრეზიდენტის ინიციატივით მიმდინარეობს.

საქართველოს პრეზიდენტმა ზუგდიდის აეროპორტის ასაფრენი ზოლი გახსნა და მელიტონ ქანთარიას საფლავი მოინახულა

საქართველოს პრეზიდენტი დღეს ზუგდიდს ესტუმრა. მიხეილ სააკაშვილმა ზუგდიდის აეროპორტის ასაფრენი ზოლი გახსნა. პირველი რეისი თავად პრეზიდენტმა შეასრულა, რომელიც სესნას ტიპის თვითმფრინავს პირადად მართავდა.

„კარგია, რომ აქ აეროპორტი შენდება. მომავალი წლისთვის ვიყიდით ფრანგულ თვითმფრინავებს და რეგულარულ რეისებს აქაც დავიწყებთ. იმის მიუხედავად, რომ ფოთში ძალიან დიდი აეროპორტი გვექნება, რეისები ზუგდიდიდანაც განხორციელდება. ამ აეროპორტით ისარგებლებენ, ჯერ ერთი, ის ტურისტები, რომლებიც ანაკლიაში ივლიან; მეორე, ვინც მესტიაში ვერ დაფრინდება მეტეოროლოგიური პირობების გამო და მესამეც - რეისები განხორციელდება კონკრეტულად ზუგდიდისთვის. ზუგდიდი დიდი ქალაქია, რომელშიც ასი ათასზე მეტი ადამიანი ცხოვრობს, ამიტომ რუკაზეც უნდა იყოს და აეროპორტიც აუცილებლად უნდა ჰქონდეს. ეს მხოლოდ დასაწყისია. საქართველოში 10 აეროდრომს ვაშენებთ. ხალხს დავპირდი, რომ ყველა აეროპორტს თვად გავხსნიდი, ამიტომაც, სპეციალურად ვისწავლე თვითმფრინავის მართვა. მესტიის შემდეგ, უპირველესად, ზუგდიდში გვჭირდებოდა აეროპორტი. ფოთში დიდი აეროპორტის მშენებლობა დაიწყო, რომელიც ერთ წელიწადში დამთავრდება. ფოთის აეროპორტი საერთაშორისო ხაზებზე მოგემსახურებათ. კავკასიაში ის ყველაზე დიდი აეროპორტი იქნება და თბილისზე ნაკლები რაოდენობის რეისები არ შესრულდება. აქ ადგილობრივი რეისები განხორციელდება: ზუგდიდი-თბილისი, ზუგდიდი-მესტია, ზუგდიდი-თელავი, ასევე ზუგდიდი-ბათუმი და ა.შ. თუმცა, ამასობაში, ავტობანიც მოვა აქამდე და გადაადგილება გაგიადვილდებათ. მოკლედ, ზუგდიდი არ იქნება მოწყვეტილი და გახდება ცენტრი, როგორც უნდა იყოს. ეს არის ჩემი დაპირება", - აღნიშნა საქართველოს პრეზიდენტმა.

Wissol Group Reports Increase in Business Operations
Written by Keti Chkhikvadze
16/05/2011
The FINANCIAL -- Wissol, one of the largest business groups in Georgia, plans to make solid investments in different operating fields and develop dynamically in 2011 according to Mr. Soso Pkhakadze, Chairman of the Wissol Board of Directors.

The first quarter company results are positive, and as Mr. Pkhakadze said, increased sales have been observed in different businesses of Wissol Group. “We have had an increase in sales in the first quarter of 2011. The dynamics of 2010 that we had at Wissol Petroleum are continuing. As for other companies incorporated in Wissol Group, we have observed significant improvements which mean that the country is recovering from the economic downturn. We are in the post crisis period and economy is picking up rapidly,” Mr. Pkhakadze added.

Wissol is one of the largest business groups in Georgia incorporating Wissol Petroleum, Wissol Gas, Air Wissol, Wissol Gas Distribution Company, construction company JSC Delta and advertising company Vellagio. Recently the company added Auto Express and through business diversification has started developing a supermarket chain under the name Smart as well. `It’s our intention to create a nation-wide chain of modern supermarkets that will meet expectations of wider pubic,” said Mr. Pkhakadze who currently serves as a General Director of JSC Smart Retail.

Wissol will face several challenges in 2011. “Firstly, we would like to sustain our leading position on the market. The market leaders have even greater responsibility to conduct businesses adhering with the most modern business ethics and practices. Being leader means constant control of product and service quality, being always an innovator, constantly implementing new innovative projects which make your clients highly satisfied and provide additional value to them. This is why Wissol is distinguished on the marketplace and customer care gives us the basis for our success,” Mr. Pkhakadze added.

The company will be investing millions of GEL in core business developments in 2011.

Auto Express, new venture with exclusive rights from Total, works in three directions: development of oil and lubricant change boxes located near Wissol petrol stations; tier service as well as transformation of cars on natural gas.

Wissol is the exclusive importer of oil lubricants of French company Total, one of the world’s major oil and gas groups.

Total lubricants will be available in 15 locations throughout Georgia by the end of 2011. The company plans to make over 50 units in the country. The lubricant service points will be available near Wissol petrol stations throughout Georgia.

The first Smart supermarket was opened in December 2010. Within 2-3 years the Smart supermarket chain will launch over 20 supermarkets throughout Georgia, out of them 20% will be at Wissol stations and the remaining 80% will be in different locations, occupying between 2,000-5,000 square metres. The company already employs 100 individuals and is considering employing 3,000 staff members over the next 3 years.

Wissol Gas Distribution Company has been providing natural gas to Telavi since the year 2008, already supplying 10,500 families in the region. Since the year 2008 the company has provided gasification to 16 villages, in 2010 alone the company added 7 villages to its gasification system.

In the territory of the Gori highway, Wissol started building of a rest and services complex, which will be opened in summer 2011. Within the framework of the project, the company will build a tourist information centre, service units and restaurants, auto-tech service, a special car park for cars and buses and petrol station. The works are being conducted by JSC Delta, Construction Company of Wissol Group.

The year 2010 was special for Wissol as the company was awarded the ‘Ruban d’Honneur’ Prize and was named among the 10 best companies in Europe. This was the first case of a company from Georgia and from a post-Soviet Republic being named among the 10 best companies out of all 15,000 companies from the European continent.

However, as Mr. Pkhakadze said, being awarded by two Mercury 2011 prises is vital for Wissol as a company operates in Georgia and is doing business on the local market. “The awards that were given to us by our customers and Georgian society at large is far more important than all the awards and prizes that we have been granted throughout our corporate history. We do business in Georgia, we serve the local people and it's natural that the recognition of our successful business activities in our country is very exciting and incomparable fact for us” said Mr. Pkhakadze.

Wissol and Mr. Pkahakadze personally, were awarded in two nominations – Wissol - The Employer of the Year and Mr. Pkhakadze - The Entrepreneur of 2011.

“This brings with it great motivation and stimulus to create new innovative projects and get further closer to the society, care about them and appreciate the trust they showed towards Wissol,” Mr. Pkhakadze said.

Q. What is the share of Wissol in total petrol sales?

A. if we take sales at pumps Wissol possesses approximately a 26-27% market share. There is observed increase in retail sales and customers have become aware of one fact. It’s better to pay a little more for petrol and choose a high quality product, which in the end protects the car, motor, and other parts of the car. The profitability is higher due to the high quality product purchase; this is pure economic-financial profit.

Q. The price of petrol increased by 0.2 GEL during the year 2011. What circumstances governed the change in price?

A. There are several factors which govern increase in the price of petrol. Georgia is wholly dependent on the prices on the international market. A change in price is directly reflected in our country. Wissol, like other companies throughout the world, purchases fuel from international markets according to Platts, an informative bulletin based on which price is calculated.
This year increase in price was governed by several factors. Firstly, the US economy recovered from the crisis and the population of the USA is the consumer of 22-23% of totally produced oil products. The second factor was the ongoing processes in North Africa and the Middle East. Libya was pumping over the world with 1,200,000 barrels of oil a day, consequently the ongoing crises and supply cut put additional burden on oil prices.

However, in recent periods the tendency has somehow been towards decrease. If the price of petrol decreases this will be both profitable for Wissol as well as for customers. A low price provides several advantages, such as sales increase. Besides, whereas a company previously spent 1.5 million USD per ship import, currently the price reaches 4 million USD.

Q. In your opinion how likely is a change in petrol price during the year 2011?

A. In previous years we have been forecasting oil prices, however due to the current rapidly changing environment I will hesitate to do so. However our strong desire is for prices to be locally within 2 GEL range per litre.

Q. How many stations does Wissol intend to open in 2011?

A. Wissol will continue developing petrol chains during 2011-2012. The company has already added several petrol stations to its network and by the end of the year we intend to open in total 12 petrol stations. The main strategy of Wissol is to wholly cover all regions of Georgia, but still. In addition we will be adding stations in Tbilisi in those regions where demand for additional stations exists.

Q. Which products are in highest demand at Wissol?

A. We are observing increased demand for European products at Wissol, which already consist of 57% of total sales. Out of European products the highest sales are of API Premium and Euro Regular.

************
“We are observing increased demand for European products at Wissol, which already consist of 57% of total realization.”
************

Q. Auto Express, the daughter company of Wissol, incorporates three major directions under its operations. What is the long-term strategy of Auto Express?

A. Wissol management pays huge attention to Auto Express. Firstly after a year’s negotiation we managed to reach an exclusive contract with French company Total, one of the world’s major oil and gas groups. The fact of Total being present in Georgia is not the success of Wissol alone, but of each investor operating and investing in our country this is an additional guarantee of stability and assurance. We formed good relationships with key figures at Total - this is a dynamic, fast-growing and interesting company from which we are learning a lot.

Secondly, in Georgia you cannot find a chain similar to Auto Express. Despite the fact that it’s not a product of daily use the demand for the service was, is, and will always be, high. At present Auto Express employs 30-40 individuals but in the future the company will recruit approximately 400-500 individuals. Auto Express will be a big chain of service stations in Georgia, as the infrastructure will be developed in Tbilisi as well as in other cities of Georgia for added comfort for clients.

Q. Auto Express for a month already has been offering the transformation of cars on gas. What advantages does this service bring to the population?

A. The company has Italian equipment and new balloons have been imported also. Auto Express provides customers with all the safety norms during transformation of petrol cars to natural gas and later individuals will have the guarantee to safely use the car. All quality parameters are protected at the same time as considering all safety parameters. The service is quite quick. Wissol intends to add several service centres due to the high demand for the service.

There are several advantages natural gas can provide to society. Firstly, the price of natural gas is twice lower than one litre of petrol. With 1 cube of natural gas an individual can travel the same distance as he would be able to with 1 litre of petrol. Secondly, considering the fact that we have Italian equipment and highly trained specialists we have created an economically profitable and safe product.

Q. How popular is Total production with Georgian clients?

A. Total lubricants have become quite popular with Georgians. Those who have changed oil at Auto Express admitted that they will continue visiting the centres. Individuals arriving at Auto Express units will get a full service package. By the support of a special computer programme, the consultant will enter all the parameters of the car and the programme will advise on the type and quantity of oil the car needs, as well as the time period of oil change.

Q. In your opinion, what will the share of Total be on the Georgian market by 2011?

A. The year 2011 is the first year for Total consequently we do not forecast a significant market share. However if we consider that currently the company already operates four service centres, intends to add two more in June and six more by the end of the year, the share of Total will be quite solid in 2012.

Q. Wissol Group did business diversification in December 2010 when it opened its Smart supermarket chain. What is the long-term strategy of Smart?

A. Smart is a separate entity with its own management, business and financial planning. Wissol is paying huge attention to Smart development and within 3-5 years we intend to be operating a wide chain of supermarkets in Georgia. Clients like the new supermarket and we are satisfied with sales figures. Currently Smart is under construction in six different places and by the end of the year we will be operating seven Smart supermarkets.

„თქვენ გახსოვთ რამდენს ლაპარაკობდნენ იმის თაობაზე, რომ 100 საავადმყოფოს პროგრამა არ შესრულდა. იმ ხალხს, ვინც ამ პროგრამის შეუსრულებლობაში გვადანაშაულებდა, რატომღაც სათვალავიდან გამორჩათ მსოფლიო ეკონომიკური კრიზისი და ის, რომ საქართველოში მტერი შემოიჭრა. ამის მიუხედავად, მათი იმედის გასაცრუებლად და ჩვენი ხალხის გასახარად მინდა ვთქვა, რომ შენდება არა მხოლოდ 100 საავადმყოფო, არამედ ბევრად მეტი - 150-მდე. დაპირებას ყოველთვის ვასრულებ და ჩვენ ამის ფინანსური შესაძლებლობა გვაქვს - ძალიან ბევრი ინვესტიცია ხორციელდება. უფრო მნიშვნელოვანია ის, როგორი ხალხი მუშაობს აქ. ბატონი აკაკი ჭანტურია იყო აქ, როდესაც 21 საუკუნის ბარბაროსები სამეგრელოს ულამაზეს ადგილს - სენაკს ბომბავდნენ. ეს ჩემთვის განსაკუთრებით მტკივნეულია, რადგან მე, ნაწილობრივ, აქედან ვარ. მაშინ ბატონი აკაკი მუცელში დაიჭრა მაგრამ პაციენტები არ მიატოვა და დაჭრილებს მანამდე მკურნალობდა, ვიდრე ისინი საავადმყოფოში არ გადაიყვანეს. იგი მხოლოდ ამის შემდეგ დაწვა საავადმყოფოში და იმკურნალა. ამ საქციელს ყველაზე კარგად ასახავს სიტყვა „ღირსება", თუმცა იგი ყველა ორდენსა და ყოველგვარ დაფასებას იმსახურებს. უპირველესად, მას პირადად ჩემგან ვუხდი დიდ მადლობას და ასევე მთელი ქვეყნისგან", - განაცხადა საქართველოს პრეზიდენტმა.

Работы по благоустройству проводились больше года.

ღონისძიების ფარგლებში სტუმრების წინაშე სპეციალური აკრობატული ნომერი ჯგუფმა ”აკრო სტაილმა” შეასრულა, გაიმართა IBG-ს ჰოლდინგში შემავალი ბრენდების უახლესი მოდელების პრეზენტაცია, რომელთა შორისაც იყო 2011 წლის Audi A5, Audi Q5, Volksvagen Touareg-ი და Kia Cerato Koup.

„იბერია ბიზნეს ჯგუფის“ ინფორმაციით, ავტობაზრობა რეგისტრაციის მოქნილი პირობებით და დაბალი ფასებით რეგიონში კონკურენციის გარეშე იქნება, ხოლო პირველი ორი კვირა მომხმარებლებს უფასოდ მოემსახურება. ავტობაზრობა და მისი დამხმარე ნაგებობები 46 000 კვადრატულ მეტრზეა გაშლილი. ტერიტორია 4 ზონად და ერთ ტერმინალად იქნება დაყოფილი და ჯამში 2000 მანქანას მოემსახურება. ობიექტზე სამშენებლო სამუშაოები პრაქტიკულად დასრულბულია, თუმცა წლის ბოლომდე იქ ამერიკული სტანდარტების ობიექტებიც აშენდება - ამერიკული ფრენჩაიზი ”პრესიჟენ ავტო სერვისი” - მულტიბრენდული საავტომობილო სერვის ცენტრი, რაც მომხმარებელს საშუალებას მისცემს საქართველოსთვის აქამდე უპრეცედენტო მომსახურება ადგილზე მიიღოს. ამასთანავე, მომხარებელს შეეძლება ადგილზე შეამოწმოს მანქანის ტექნიკური გამართულობა, ისარგებლოს სხვადასხვა წამყვანი ბანკების მომსახურებით, შეიძინოს მანქანისთვის სათადარიგო ნაწილები, განაბაჟოს მანქანა და მიიღოს მრავალი დამატებითი სერვისი „იბერია ბიზნეს ჯგუფისაგან“.

გარდა მეორადი ავტომობილებისა, ავტობაზრობის ტერიტორიაზე გაიყიდება ახალი ავტომობილებიც. IBG-ს ბრენდებისათვის აქვე იმოქმედებს თრეიდ-ინ პროგრამა, რაც გულისხმობს ნებისმიერი მარკის ძველი ავტომობილის ჩაბარებას და ახლის ყიდვას ფასთა შორის სხვაობის დაფარვით. ჩვენი კომპანია ავტობაზრობის მომხმარებელს მუდმივად გაუკეთებს სპეციალურ შეთავაზებებს ისეთი ბრენდების სერვის მომსახურებაზე, როგორებიცაა VOLKSWAGEN, AUDI, SKODA, MITSUBISHI, RENAULT, NISSAN, INFINITI, PEUGEOT და KIA,“ ჩვენ ვცდილობთ გავამართლოთ ჩვენი სლოგანი და შევუქმნათ ადამიანებს მაქსიმალური კომფორტი ხარისხიანი ავტომობილებით.”

როგორც „იბერია ბიზნეს ჯგუფში“ განმარტავენ, ბაზრობაზე შესვლის წესები მარტივია და სრულიად ახალი საქართველოსთვის. მომხმარებელს შესვლისას გადაეცემა სპეციალური ბარათი, რომელიც დააფიქსირებს მომხარებლის შესვლის თარიღს, ადგილსა და შემდეგ გასვლის დროს.

ავტობაზრობაზე რამდენიმე სწრაფი კვების ობიექტიც განთავსდება. ხოლო მათთვის ვინც ავტომობილის შესაძენად მეზობელი ქვეყნიდან არის ჩამოსული, ბაზრობის ტერიტორიაზევე განთავსებულია სასტუმრო. რაც შეეხება ვებგვერდს, იგი უკვე მზადების პროცესშია და ივნისის ბოლოდან ავტომობილის შეძენისა და გაყიდვის მსურველებს ამ სერვისით სარგებლობაც შეეძლებათ.

Шаорское озеро будет готово к приему туристов через неделю

10/06/2011
Фото: Шаорское озероПрежде чем правительство Грузии привлечет инвесторов на Шаорское озеро и обустроит там соответствующую инфраструктуру, грузинские компании сами начинают привлекать туристов на территорию озера и своими средствами пытаются обустроить инфраструктуру.

Туристическая компания «Шаори» уже приглашает туристов на отдых на прилегающую к Шаорскому озеру территории и предлагает туристам тур-пакеты, продаваемые посредством туристических агентств.

Как заявляет руководитель компании «Шаори» Роман Кобахидзе, пакеты предусматривают 4 и 7 дней отдыха и один день туристам там обходится в 35 лари. Необходимо отметить, что в пакет входит трехкратное питание, бесплатные экскурсии в Раче и езда на водных велосипедах.

Туристы могут переночевать в комфортных палатках. По заявлению руководителя «Шаори», аналогичными пакетами в прошлом году больше воспользовались иностранные туристы, нежели местные отдыхающие. Услугами «Шаори» в прошлом году в основном интересовались туристы из Израиля.

Для привлечения туристов компания планирует обустроить у озера и искусственный водопад. Как отмечают в компании, близ озера есть похожие на скалы большие глыбы, что дает возможность обустроить подобный водопад.

В обустройство инфраструктуры компания в прошлом году инвестировала 20 тысяч лари.

Обустроить туристическую инфраструктуру вокруг Шаорского озера правительство планирует с 2007 года. Идея превратить эту территорию в привлекательное для туристов место принадлежит экс-министру экономики Гиоргию Арвеладзе, однако подыскать реального инвестора до сих пор не удалось.

Необходимо отметить, что генеральный план строительства курорта разработан компанией «Географик». Согласно плану, было предусмотрено обустроить территорию в 700 гектаров, на 300 гектарах из которых должен был быть построен маленький городок. Согласно проекту, близ озеро планировалось построить взлетно-посадочную полосу длиной в 2,5 километра и малый аэродром.

В феврале 2010 году по приглашению тогдашнего министра экономики Зураба Пололикашвили в Грузии с визитом находились египетские инвесторы, которые осмотрели территорию Шаорского озера. Однако, как свидетельствует сегодняшнее состояние этого курорта, решение об инвестиции, по всей видимости, принято не было.

საქართველოს პრეზიდენტი რაჭას ესტუმრა

დღეს საქართველოს პრეზიდენტმა ამბროლაურის რაიონში ახალი, თანამედროვე სტანდარტების შესაბამისი საავადმყოფო გახსნა. სამედიცინო დაწესებულება, რომელიც 25 საწოლზეა გათვალისწინებული, რაიონის მოსახლეობას მოემსახურება. პრეზიდენტის თქმით, აქ მკურნალობა შეეძლება ყველას, მათ შორის, მათ, ვინც სახელმწიფო დაზღვევით სარგებლობს. როგორც მან აღნიშნა, ახალ კლინიკაში მკურნალობა ყველასათვის ხელმისაწვდომი იქნება. საავადმყოფოს ექიმებს აქ დამონტაჟებული სპეციალური სისტემით, საშუალება ექნებათ ინტერნეტით დაუკავშირდნენ წამყვან სპეციალისტებს ქვეყნის სხვადასხვა რეგიონებსა და მსოფლიოში და აუცილებლობის შემთხვევაში, მათგან კვალიფიციური კონსულტაცია მიიღონ. საქართველოს პრეზიდენტმა ასეთ ექსპერიმენტში მონაწილეობა პირადად მიიღო. მიხეილ სააკაშვილი ინტერნეტის საშუალებით დანიაში მოღვაწე ქართველ ექიმს დაუკავშირდა, რომელსაც ტელემედიცინის განვითარების შესაძლებლობაზე ესაუბრა. პრეზიდენტის თქმით, მედიცინის განვითარების თვალსაზრისით, დანია ერთ-ერთი მოწინავეა მსოფლიოს მასშტაბით. მან იმედი გამოთქვა, რომ ეს დარგი საქართველოშიც მიაღწევს განვითარების მაღალ საფეხურს და წარმატებული ქართველი ექიმები არათუ აღარ წავლენ საკუთარი ქვეყნიდან, არამედ ისინიც დაბრუნდებიან, რომლებიც უცხოეთში წლების წინ წავიდნენ.
საქართველოს პრეზიდენტმა ასევე სოციალური მომსახურების სააგენტოც გახსნა, რომლის სერვისით სარგებლობაც ადგილობრივებს ხვალიდან შეეძლებათ.
დღესვე ამბროლაურის რაიონში მიხეილ სააკაშვილმა სპორტულ-გამაჯანსაღებელი კომპლექსი გახსნა, რომელიც სპორტულ და ფიტნეს დარბაზებს აერთიანებს.
პრეზიდენტი ადგილობრივ მოსახლეობასაც გაესაუბრა და იმ პრობლემებით დაინტერესდა, რომლებიც მათ წინაშე ამჟამად დგას. პრეზიდენტი რაჭველებს დაწყებული პროექტების დასრულებას დაპირდა და აღნიშნა, რომ მომავალი წლისათვის ამბროლაურის რაიონს საკუთარი აეროპორტი ექნება.
საქართველოს პრეზიდენტმა სოფელ შარდომეთში ქართულ-შვეიცარიული პროექტის ფარგლებში აშენებული მეცხოველეობის ფერმაც მოინახულა. შვეიცარიული კომპანია იყო პირველი, ვინც 2008 წლის ომის შემდეგ რაჭის რეგიონში ინვესტიცია განახორციელა. პროექტის ფარგლებში ორი მილიონი დოლარი უკვე დაიხარჯა. შვეიცარიელი ინვესტორების მიზანია საქონლის ახალი, სახორცე ჯიშის გამოყვანა. ფერმაში 25 ადგილობრივია დასაქმებული, რომლებიც შვეიცარელმა სპეციალისტებმა საგანგებოდ გადაამზადეს. პრეზიდენტმა ფერმის დირექტორს, შვეიცარიელ ბრუნო ვიდენს, რომელიც მეცხოველეობის განვითარებაზე ზრუნავს, საქართველოს მოქალაქეობა მიანიჭა.
„ეს პროექტი მნიშვნელოვანია იმითაც, რომ აქ ახლა სასაკლაოს აკეთებენ, რაც იმას ნიშნავს, რომ ხორცის აქ ჩაბარება მთელ მოსახლეობას შეეძლება. თანაც, ხალხს თვითონვე ასწავლიან და აუმჯობესებენ საქონლის ჯიშს. შვეიცარული ჯიშების შემოყვანა, ამ მხრივ, აუცილებელია, რადგან საქართველოში არსებული ჯიშები გადაშენების პირასაა. დღეს ლაპარაკობენ, რომ აქაურობა შვეიცარიას უნდა დაემსგავსოს, უპირველესად კი, ცხოვრების სტილით. ამისთვის, უნდა შეიქმნას შემოსავლების წყარო, რასაც ქმნის ახალი ტექნოლოგია, უპირველესად, სოფლის მეურნეობაში. როდესაც სასაკლაოს ააშენებენ, ხალხს მეტი ინტერესი ექნება, რომ ბევრად უფრო სერიოზული საქონელი ყავდეს, ვიდრე დღეს ჰყავს", - აღნიშNა საქართველოს პრეზიდენტმა.
ეს პროექტის იმით არის მნიშვნელოვანი, რომ თუ ქართული ძროხა 400 კილოგრამს იწონის, ახალი ჯიში 700-მდე კილოგრამი იქნება. მოხდება შვეიცარული და ქართული ჯიშების შეჯვარებაც. პროექტის მესვეურთა თქმით, ეს ხელს შეუწყობს ქართულ ბაზარზე იმპორტირებული ხორცის ადგილობრივით ჩანაცვლებას. ამას გარდა, ფერმის გარშემო მოეწყობა სასწავლო ცენტრი, ლაბორატორია და რამდენიმე სასაკლაო. რაჭის რეგიონში სულ 30 ფერმის აშენება იგეგმება.
ამბროლაურიდან პრეზიდენტი ონის რაიონში გაემგზავრა. მან ის კორპუსები მოინახულა, რომლებსაც სარეაბილიტაციო და გასამაგრებელი სამუშაოები ჩაუტარდა. უკვე აღდგენილია ათი კორპუსი და ათასამდე კერძო სახლი. მიხეილ სააკაშვილი ონის მოსახლეობასაც შეხვდა და მიწისძვრითა და ომის დროს დაზარალებულებული მოქალაქეების პრობლემებით დაინტერესდა. პრეზიდენტის განცხადებით, მთავრობა შესაძლებლობის მაქსიმუმს აკეთებს იმისთვის, რომ მიწისძვრით დაზარალებული ყველა ოჯახი უმოკლეს ვადაში დაკმაყოფილდეს. მათი საცხოვრებელი პირობების გაუმჯობესებისთვის სახელმწიფო ბიუჯეტიდან თორმეტი მილიონი ლარი გამოიყო.

В Грузии появится четырехсезонный курорт

20/06/2011

В Грузии появится еще один курорт, рассчитанный на все четыре курортных сезона. Расположенный в горной Аджарии курорт Гомордула сейчас готовится к летнему сезону.

В расположенном на высоте 1200 метров над уровнем моря Гомордула функционирует 30 семейных гостиниц, однако вскоре там будет построено пять новых гостиниц, возведенных в аджарском стиле.

Инвестицию осуществляют местные бизнесмены, объединенные в акционерное общество «Гомордула». По их расчетам, известный как горнолыжный курорт Гомордула сможет принять отдыхающих в любой сезон. Заинтересованность же туристов планируют повысить путем развития экстремальных видов спорта. В Гомордула планируется обстроить довольно масштабный экстрим-парк.

President delights in further tourism renovation
By Gvantsa Gabekhadze
Wednesday, July 20
President of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili visited the renovated Georgian resort, Sairme, on July 18. He surveyed reconstructive works and spoke with the locals. As he has mentioned, staying at the resort would become available for all Georgians and that Sairme is attractive for foreign tourists as well. At the same time, the President underlined that the tourism development of the area will sustain locals’ employment.

“I was here last year and I was very much disappointed to see the resort in such a bad condition. All that should have been improved, especially when a lot of Georgians wait for summer to visit the resort every year. The most important thing is that people are enabled again to come here and rest, thus the resort now is not targeted only for upper level representatives of the society. Herewith, tourists from neighboring countries come here and it is a very important step forward for tourism development and people’s employment, “Saakashvili stated.

The President mentioned that despite the fact that a significant part of Georgian territories are being occupied and the country is in difficulties, the building process in the country is ongoing and according to him, this is a product of killing corruption in the country, “ the Government no longer steal money and in this environment, a building process is really possible , “ the President said and added that in the near future, three balneology resorts of Georgia would be reconstructed – Borjomi, Tskaltubo and Sairme. Serious construction works have already been launched in Borjomi.

In the frames of the Sairme rehabilitation, two motor roads and three roads for pedestrians have been constructed. Support walls on each bank of river Kabali were also built. At the same time, several parks and the areas of mineral water springs have been well built. European design street illumination was installed while canalization and water provision systems were restored. The outlook of Hotel Sairme was also changed after the rehabilitation and now it can host 150 guests. From 2013, thermal baths designed by German architects would be opened in Sairme.

The President also visited the village of Vartsikhe (the village and Sairme belong to Baghdati region) and newly constructed tourist complex Vartsikhe Villa there. The complex can host 50 tourists and there are two artificial lakes, a river and a forest there. The new centre is targeted towards Georgian and foreign tourists while the location is supplied by locally made products.

The locals thanked the President for the reconstruction and stated that the process is very profitable for the country, the region and for the people’s welfare.

მიხეილ სააკაშვილი საკურორტო სეზონის გახსნასთან დაკავშირებით, დღეს საირმეს ესტუმრა. საქართველოს პრეზიდენტმა განხორციელებული სარეკონსტრუქციო სამუშაოები მოინახულა და ადგილობრივ მცხოვრებლებსაც გაესაუბრა. მისი თქმით, განახლებულ საირმეში დასვენება მოსახლეობის ყველა ფენისათვის იქნება ხელმისაწვდომი. მან ასევე აღნიშნა, რომ ეს კურორტი მიმზიდველია როგორც ქართველი, ისე უცხოელი ტურისტებისათვის. მიხეილ სააკაშვილი ასევე მიიჩნევს, რომ ამ მხარეში ტურიზმის განვითარება ადგილობრივი მოსახლეობის დასაქმების წინაპირობაა.
„აქ შარშან ვიყავი, არადა თითქოს ეს გუშინ იყო. გულზე შემომეყარა როცა დავინახე, რა დღეში იყო აქაურობა. იმის დატოვება არ შეიძლებოდა, მით უმეტეს, რომ უამრავი ქართველი დამსვენებელი ჩამოდის. მთავარია, რომ ხალხს კვლავაც შეეძლოს აქ ჩამოსვლა. არ უნდა მოხდეს ისე, რომ ამ კურორტზე მოსახლეობის მხოლოდ ზედა ფენებმა შეძლონ დასვენება და ტრადიციული დამსვენებელი ვეღარ ჩამოვიდეს. ხალხი აქ ამოსასვლელად წლიდან წლამდე ელოდება ზაფხულს. ასევე აქ ჩამოდიან ტურისტები მეზობელი თუ სხვა ქვეყნებიდან, აზერბაიჯანიდან, ისრაელიდან და ა.შ. თანაც, გარშემო ყველაფერი კეთდება, წინსვლა ძალიან სჭირდება ბაღდათს, ყოველი ასეთი წინგადადგმული ნაბიჯი კი, ქმნის სამუშაო ადგილებს", - აღნიშნა მიხეილ სააკაშვილმა.
თავის მხრივ, მოსახლეობამ მადლობა გადაუხადა პრეზიდენტს და მთავრობას, რომ უმოკლეს პერიოდში დიდი ცვლილებების განხორციელება შეძლეს და იმედიც გამოთქვეს, რომ მალე ეს კურორტი მსოფლიოში ერთ-ერთი მნიშვნელოვანი ტურისტული ცენტრი გახდება.
„იმის მიუხედავად, რომ ჩვენ ქვეყანას ძალიან უჭირს და მეზობელ ქვეყანას ოკუპირებული აქვს საქართველოს ტერიტორიის ნაწილი, კორუფცია აღარ არის, მთავრობა ფულს არ იპარავს, ყველა ორგანიზებულად მუშაობს. ამ პირობებში კი, აღმშენებლობა ნამდვილად შესაძლებელია. ერთ-ერთი მთავარი ფაქტი არის ის, რომ საქართველოში სამი უმთავრესი ბალნეოლოგიური მნიშვნელობის კურორტი აღორძინდება - საირმე, ბორჯომი და წყალტუბო. სერიოზული სამუშაოები უკვე დაიწყო ბორჯომშიც. მთლიანად იცვლება წყალსადენი, საკანალიზაციო სისტემა, შენდება ახალი სასტუმროები. წყალტუბო, რომელიც წელს სერიოზულად ამუშავდა და დაემატა სანატორიუმები, მომავალ წელს გახდება დიდი მნიშვნელობის საერთაშორისო საკურორტო ცენტრი. ამას ემატება ვეჯინი, ახტალა, ნუნისი და მრავალი სხვა. საქართველოში ბევრი ასეთი ადგილია, მაგრამ სამი მათგანი იქნება ისეთი, როგორზეც ცოტა ხნის წინათ ვერც კი ვიოცნებებდით. საირმის გაკეთება მართლაც ძალიან სწრაფად მოხდა. დანარჩენი კურორტების რეკონსტრუქციაც ამავე ტემპში განხორციელდება", - განაცხადა მიხეილ სააკაშვილმა.
საირმის რეაბილიტაციის ფარგლებში ორი საავტომობილო და სამი საფეხმავლო გზა გაკეთდა, ხოლო მდინარე კაბალის ორივე მხარეს საყრდენი კედლები აშენდა, კეთილმოეწყო სკვერი, მინერალური წყაროები და დამონტჟდა ევროპული დიზაინის გარე განათება. ასევე აღდგა საკანალიზაციო და წყალმომარაგების სისტემა. ახალი ტურისტულ სეზონზე საირმის ადგილობრივი მცხოვრებლები და დამსვენებლები გაფილტრულ წყალსაც მიიღებენ - ახალი ავტომატური საფილტრაციო სადგური საერთაშორისო სტანდარტებს სრულად შეესაბამება. რეაბილიტაციის შემდეგ სასტუმრო „საირმის"იერსახეც შეიცვალა და ის 150 სტუმრის მიღებას შეძლებს. 2013 წელს აქ გერმანელი სპეციალისტების მიერ დაპროექტებული თერმული აბანოებიც გაიხსნება.

მიხეილ სააკაშვილი: კიდევ რომელ ქვეყანაშია შესაძლებელი ერთ დღეში თხილამურებითაც ისრიალო და ზღვაშიც ჩაყვინთო?

საქართველოს პრეზიდენტი ლეგენდარულ მოთხილამურესთან ერთად სვანეთს ესტუმრა. მიხეილ სააკაშვილმა და ალბერტო ტომბამ უშბის პლატოზე, ზღვის დონიდან 3 ათას 700 მეტრის სიმაღლეზე ისრიალეს.
ალბერტო ტომბა საქართველოში უკვე მეორედ ჩამოვიდა. ამჯერად, მან სვანეთი მოინახულა და აღნიშნა, რომ ამ კურორტს სათხილამურო სპორტის განვითარების თვალსაზრისით დიდი პოტენციალი აქვს. მიხეილ სააკაშვილთან საუბრისას, სვანეთის მთები მან მომბლანს შეადარა და აღნიშნა, რომ მსგავსი სილამაზის მწვერვალები ევროპაში არ უნახავს.
საქართველოს პრეზიდენტმა განახლებული მესტია დაათვალიერა და მიმდინარე სარეაბლიტიაციო სამუშოები მოინახულა. მიხეილ სააკაშვილი სასტუმრო „ჰოსტელსაც" ესტუმრა, რომლის მშენებლობაც მაისში, ეკონომიკისა და მდგრადი განვითარების მინისტრის ვერა ქობალიას ინიციატივით დაიწყო. პირველ დამსვენებელს სასტუმრო 1 აგვისტოს მიიღებს.
მიხეილ სააკაშვილმა მესტიის ცენტრში მშენებარე პიაცა დაათვალიერა, რომელსაც ცოტა ხნის წინათ ჩაეყარა საფუძველი. ამ ტერიტორიაზე სამი ახალი სასტუმრო-კომპლექსი აშენდება, რომელიც მთლიანად შეკრავს ცნობილი იტალიელი არქიტექტორის პიერ დიენეს მიერ დაპროექტებულ მოედანს.
„მესტია ბევრი ტურისტისთვის საყვარელი ადგილი გახდება. მთავარია, რომ აქ დასვენების შესაძლებლობა ყველას ჰქონდეს და სტუდენტებისთვის, ახალგაზრდებისა და ქართველი სპორტსმენებისთვის ხელმისაწვდომი იყოს", - აღნიშნა მან.
მესტიიდან პრეზიდენტი სარფში გაემგზავრა. მიხეილ სააკაშვილმა მყვინთავებთან ერთად 12 მეტრის სიღმეზე ჩაყვინთა და ის გემი დაათვალიერა, რომელიც ხელოვნური რიფის შექმნისა და დაივინგის განვითარების მიზნით ჩაძირეს.
„დღეს ზღვის დონიდან, დაახლოებით, 4 ათასი მეტრის სიმაღლეზე თხილამურებით ვისრიალეთ, შემდეგ კი, ზღვის ფსკერზე თორმეტი მეტრის სიღმეზე ჩავყვინთეთ. კიდევ რომელ ქვეყანაშია შესაძლებელი ამის ერთ დღეში მოხერხება? ასეთი სუფთა და თბილი, თან ერთდროულად უმარილო და მსუბუქი წყალი არსად არ არის. ამ მხრივ, განსაკუთრებით აღსანიშნავია კვარიათი და გონიო, რომლებიც მსოფლიოში ერთ-ერთ ყველაზე უსაფრთხო ადგილად შეიძლება ჩაითვალოს. მართალია, დაივინგის სკოლა საქართველოში ახალი შექმნილია, მაგრამ, ამ მხრივ, უკვე საკმაოდ მაღალი დონე გვაქვს", - აღნიშნა მიხეილ სააკაშვილმა.
წყალქვეშა ტურიზმის განვითარების მიზნით, შავი ზღვის სანაპიროზე კიდევ რამდენიმე პროექტის განხორციელება იგეგმება: ზღვის ბიოლოგიური მრავალფეროვნებისთვის წყალმცენარეები და ხელოვნური რიფები შეიქმნება. მომავალი სეზონიდან კი, ყვინთვის მოყვარულებს ახალ ტურებსაც შეთავაზებენ.

ProCredit Bank Georgia expands regional coverage

ProCredit Bank Georgia announced on August 8 that the bank is further expanding its branch coverage by opening its first ever branches in Samtredia, in west Georgia and Akhaltsikhe, in south Georgia.

In addition, one of the existing three branches in Georgia’s second largest city of Kutaisi will be relocated to a new premise and the sixth branch will be added in Batumi, a Black sea coastal resort.

The bank, which is famous for its focus on small and medium-sized enterprises, explained the expansion strategy was due to “increased public demand” for the bank’s services and thus has spurred the bank on to provide its customers with maximum convenience by providing them with service in more locations across Georgia.

“This [expansion] will enable us to further contribute to the development of small and medium-sized businesses in the respective regions, with a special focus on agriculture,” Sascha Ternes, Director of ProCredit Bank said in a special statement.

The new branch in Samtredia opened on August 8 with initially 10 employees. This branch together with the new branches in Kutaisi, Batumi and Akhaltsikhe - to be opened later this year - are designed to fit the “one stop banking” concept.

This service, according to the bank’s press service, allows the bank’s clients to perform transactions much faster and receive and pay amounts up to 2,000 lari ($ 1,000) with a client advisor without having to approach the cash-desk for cash transactions.

ProCredit Bank Georgia is part of Frankfurt-based ProCredit Holding AG. With BB- rating from the international agency Fitch Ratings, which is the best and highest possible rating in Georgia, ProCredit Bank Georgia owns assets of $ 494 million and around 355,000 clients throughout Georgia.

With the four new branches, the total number of ProCredit Bank branches throughout Georgia will reach 60.

“Now our clients in many areas of Georgia can enjoy modern design and services that conform to best international practices. With our extended coverage, we stay close to our clients, offering them quality, fast and convenient banking services,” said Ternes.

საქართველოს პრეზიდენტმა ახალი ზღვისპირა კურორტი ანაკლია საზეიმო ვითარებაში გახსნა
უპირველეს ყოვლისა, მსურს ანაკლიის გახსნა მოგილოცოთ.
დღეს მთელი დღის განმავლობაში ვადევნებდი თვალს ტელევიზორს და დავაკვირდი, აცხადებდნენ - „განახლებული ანაკლია".
ეს არ არის განახლებული ანაკლია - ეს ახალი ანაკლიაა, შავი ზღვისპირეთის ახალი, ყველაზე ლამაზი კურორტი ყველაზე კარგ ადგილზე, საქართველოშიც და ევროპაშიც.
ხუთი წლის წინათ, საქართველოს სანაპირო დაცვასთან ერთად, საზღვაო საზღვრებს ვათვალიერებდი, როდესაც ანაკლიის ნაპირიდან რამდენიმე ასეული მეტრის დაშორებით კატარღას ძრავი გაუფუჭდა. არ ვიცოდით რა გვექნა, რადგან ე.წ. სამშვიდობოებთან ძალიან ახლოს ვიმყოფებოდით, რომლებიც მაშინ უკვე ოკუპანტის ფუნქციას ასრულებდნენ. ვიდექით არაკონტროლირებადი ტერიტორიის გასწვრივ და ვფიქრობდით ვერტმფრენები გამოგვეძახა, ნაპირამდე გამოგვეცურა თუ დავრჩენილიყავით და დავლოდებოდით როდის გავაკეთებდით ძრავს ჩვენივე ძალებით. სწორედ ამ დროს, ადგილობრივი მეთევზეების (სხვათა შორის აქ მთელ ზღვისპირეთში საუკეთესო თევზია) ორი ნავი მოგვადგა, მათ დახმარება შემოგვთავაზეს და ნაპირზე გადმოგვიყვანეს.
სწორედ მაშინ მოვხვდი პირველად ანაკლიაში და ეს ადგილი დანახვისთანავე შემიყვარდა.
მინდა ვაღიარო, რომ მანამდე ანაკლიაზე არაფერი მსმენოდა, მხოლოდ ის ვიცოდი, რომ ზოგადად, ასეთი დასახლებული პუნქტი რუკაზე იყო.
არ შეიძლება ანაკლია არ მოგეწონოს და არ შეგიყვარდეს. აქ ყველაზე კარგი კლიმატია შავი ზღვისპირეთის მასშტაბით. ჩვენ საქართველოს ყველა ადგილი გვიყვარს, მაგრამ კლიმატის თვალსაზრისით ეს საუკეთესო ადგილია.
დღეს საშუალება მქონდა ჩვენს დეპუტატებთან, მინისტრებთან, ჩვენ ადგილობრივ მეგობრებთან ერთად ზღვაში გაგვეცურა და კიდევ ერთხელ დავრწმუნებულიყავით, რომ ანაკლიაში განსაკუთრებულად სასიამოვნო ზღვაა.
ამას გარდა, აქ არის ენგურის ულამაზესი შესართავი, მწვანეში ჩაფლული კუნძულებითა და ტბებით, ასევე ულამაზესი ბაღები, რომლებიც წალკოტს მოგვაგონებს.
თუმცა ანაკლიის, სამეგრელოს და მთელი საქართველოს მთავარი საგანძური წარმოუდგენლად ნიჭიერი, შრომისმოყვარე, ენთუზიაზმით და სიყვარულით აღსავსე ხალხია და, უპირველეს ყოვლისა, ამ ხალხის წინაშე ვიხრი ქედს.
მე ვნახე აქ მომუშავე ადამიანების ანთებული თვალები. ძალიან ხშირად ჩამოვსულვარ აქ, ძალიან ხშირად ვაკვირდებოდი ამ მშენებლობებს და მართლაც, „პრარაბივით" ვადექი-ხოლმე თავზე.
ხშირად ამბობენ რა პრეზიდენტის საქმეა მშენებლობებზე სირბილი, საზღვრების გახსნაო... აბა ვისი საქმეა? ეს არ იყო წინა პრეზიდენტის საქმე და ყველამ კარგად ვიცით როგორც „შენდებოდა" საქართველო.
ჩვენ იმისთვის ვართ, რომ ვიდრე სული გვიდგას, ვაშენოთ და ყველაფერი გავაკეთოთ, რათა ჩვენ შვილებს უკეთესი სამშობლო დავუტოვოთ.
დღეს აქ ისეთი სასტუმროები გაიხსნა, როგორსაც დუბაიში, აბუდაბიში, ყატარში და სხვა ძალიან დიდ, წამყვან სახელმწიფოებში აშენებენ, როგორიცაა, მაგალითად მილიარდნახევრიანი ჩინეთი. ასეთივე სასტუმროებს აშენებენ ამერიკის შეერთებულ შტატებშიც... მხოლოდ ერთი განსხვავებაა: ისინი ძალიან დიდი ან ძალიან მდიდარი ქვეყნებია.
მართალია, რთულ პირობებში ვიმყოფებით, მაგრამ ყოველივე ამას გაზის, ნავთობისა და მილიარდნახევრიანი მოსახლეობის გარეშე ვაკეთებთ. ე.ი. ჩვენ განსაკუთრებული ხალხი ვართ, განსაკუთრებული ნიჭით. ე.ი. ჩვენ განსაკუთრებულად შეგვწევს უნარი გვიყვარდეს ჩვენი ქვეყანა და ამ ქვეყანაში, ყველაზე რთულ პირობებშიც კი, რაღაც ვაშენოთ.
პირველი ჩამოსვლის შემდეგ არაერთხელ დავბრუნდი ანაკლიაში. შეუძლებელია აქაური სტუმართმოყვარეობა არ შეგიყვარდეს - თავისი სამზარეულოთი, თავისი განსაკუთრებული ტრადიციებით.
მახსოვს, როდესაც სამშენებლო მოედნებს ვარჩევდით, აქ ღამის 12 საათზე მოვედით და შეგვხვდა მეურმე, რომელიც გალიდან გადმოდიოდა და რაღაც საქონელი გადმოჰქონდა. სწორედ ამ ბულვარის მიდამოებში შევხვდით ერთმანეთს. როდესაც დაგვინახა რამდენიმე ადამიანი, თანაც შეიარაღებული, ძალიან დაფრთხა და შეკრთა, რადგან ძარცვა, ყაჩაღობა საქონლის წართმევა, რეკეტი, ბავშვების მოტაცება და გამოსასყიდის მოთხოვნა აქაური თითოეული მაცხოვრებლისთვის მაშინ ყოველდღიური რეალობა იყო.
დღეს, საქართველოში დანაშაულის დონე ერთ-ერთი ყველაზე დაბალია მთელ ევროპაში. საქართველოს შიგნით კი, ამ მხრივ, ყველაზე დაბალი მაჩვენებელი სამეგრელოში გვაქვს, რადგან მეგრელებს წესრიგი უყვართ. სამეგრელოში კი ყველაზე მეტად იგრძნობა, რომ ევროპის ნაწილი ვართ.
ჩვენ მტერს ყური აქვს მოდებული და სადღაც შორს კი არა, აქვე, რამდენიმე ასეულ მეტრშია. დარწმუნებული ვარ, ისინი თავის ჩაშმორებულ ნაწილში სხედან, ჭამენ გერკულესისა და გოროხის ფაფას, რომლის უმეტესს ნაწილს ჯარისკაცებს ოფიცრები ჰპარავენ და ნაღვლიანი თვალებით იყურებიან - მათ, ალბათ, დღემდე ვერ გაუგიათ რატომ გადმოსვევს სანაპიროზე, ვის იცავენ, ვისგან იცავენ მათ უკან არსებულ სიცარიელეს, ან საერთოდ, რა უნდათ ამ შუა წალკოტში და რატომ ვინ დანიშნა ისინი, ულამაზესი პლაჟების მცველად.
მსურს ერთ რამეზე გავამახვილო თქვენი ყურადღება - თუ რატომ არ იყო აქამდე ანაკლიაში კურორტი. ამას ძალიან მარტივი მიზეზი აქვს - აქ ჯერ საბჭოთა სამხედრო ბაზა იყო, შემდეგ კი, რუსების სამხედრო ბაზა. მანამდე, წინა საუკუნეებში რუსეთის იმპერიის და შემდგომ თურქების სამხედრო ბაზა...
საბჭოთა კავშირის პერიოდში აქ არსებულ ბაზას საბჭოთა კავშირი ნატო-სგან უნდა დაეცვა, რადგან ნატოს საზღვარი საბჭოთა კავშირი-თურქეთის საზღვარზე გადადიოდა.
დღეს ჩვენ მეორე მხარეს მეორე კედელი აგვიშენეს, რათა ეთნიკური წარმომავლობის ქართველები, ესტონელები, უკრაინელები, ებრაელები ვერ დაბრუნდნენ საკუთარ სამშობლოში.
რა თქმა უნდა, ამ სიტუაციაში, როდესაც იქ ტანკები და რაკეტებია, ბევრ ქვეყანას, შესაძლოა, აქაც გაეთხარა სანგრები და ყოველ ას მეტრში ჩაესვა ჯარისკაცები, მოეტანა არტილერია და დაემინა მთელი სანაპირო ზოლი - ერთი სიტყვით რომ ვთქვათ, ყრუ დაცვა უზრუნველგვეყო, რათა ჩვენი მტრის შემდგომი შემოჭრა აგვეცილებინა თავიდან.
ჩვენ სხვა გზა ავირჩიეთ და, ვფიქრობ, სწორი გადაწყვეტილება მივიღეთ - სანგრების ნაცვლად 5 და 7-ვარსკვლავიანი სასტუმროები აგვეშენებინა, ხოლო ნაღმების ნაცვლად - საუკეთესო აკვაპარკები ევროპაში, ახალი სამხედრო ნაწილების ნაცვლად - ეს უზარმაზარი ამფითეატრი თავისი დისკოთეკით; ასევე ფეხბურთის ახალი, ულამაზესი მოედნები, სადაც შეიქმნება ძალიან საინტერესო სპორტული კომპლექსები; ახალი სპა კურორტი, სადაც გოგირდის წყალიც შემოვიყვანეთ.
როდესაც მე პრეზიდენტი გავხდი, საქართველოში 120 ათასი ტურისტი შემოდიოდა. შარშან კი 2 მილიონი გვყავდა, წელს სამ მილიონამდე იყო, მომავალ წელს 4 მილიონი გვეყოლება, ხოლო მომდევნო წელს 5 მილიონამდე ავალთ.
2015 წლის მოდერნიზაციის გეგმის მიხედვით საქართველოში, დაახლოებით, 7-8 მილიონი ტურისტი შემოვა. 2013 წელს აქ ამ ადგილზე, სადაც „ცალკალოშა" დამპყრობელი ჯარისკაცის გარდა ვერავის ვერ შემოიყვანდი ძალითაც კი, იქნება ათასი სასტუმრო ადგილი. ეს ნიშნავს წელიწადში 200 ათას დამსვენებელს, კიდევ ერთხელ ვიმეორებ 2013 წელს აქ იქნება 200 ათასი დამსვენებელი წელიწადში. ეს არის უფრო მეტი ვიდრე მაგალითად აჭარაში იყო ასლან აბაშიძის დროს. 2015 წელს, რომელსაც მე ასევე გარკვეულ ზღვარად ვისახავ, იქნება თითქმის 400 ათასი დამსვენებელი.
ანაკლია გახდება ერთ-ერთი ყველაზე დიდი კურორტი მთელი შავი ზღვისპირეთის რეგიონში.
წელს ოქტომბერში იწყება ფოთი-ანაკლიის გზის მშენებლობა, რომელიც შავი ზღვისპირეთის მთელ გაყოლებაზე დაიფარება და ანაკლიიდან ფოთამდე მანქანით მხოლოდ 15 წუთი სავალი იქნება, ბათუმამდე კი, 50 წუთი დაგვჭირდება.
ესეც თქვენი სენტროპე და ნიცა, როგორც ეს მე წარმომიდგენია და ცოტა უკეთესიც კი.
საქართველოს თავისი ისტორიის განმავლობაში ყოველთვის ჰქონდა პრობლემები, რადგან ყოველთვის ჰყავდა დამპყრობლები და ვშიშობ მომავალშიც გვეყოლება; ისტორიის წიგნებიდან ვიცით, რომ საქართველოს ჰყავდა მოღალატეები - ახლა ასეთები ყოველდღიურად ტელევიზიით გამოდიან; საქართველოს ალბათ ყოველთვის ეყოლება მოღალატეები, მაგრამ ჩვენ ქვეყანას ასევე მუდამ ჰყავდა და აუცილებლად ყოველთვის ეყოლება გმირები.
საქართველოს ყოველთვის ჰქონდა ჭირიც და ვარამიც, მაგრამ, რაც არ უნდა წაებორძიკა, ჩვენ ქვეყანას ყოველთვიის შეეძლო ფეხზე წამოდგომა და წელსი გამართვა.
ჩემთვის ერთი რამ არის უტყუარი - ესენი მიდიან და მოდიან, ზოგიერთი ჩვენი დამპყრობლის სახელი არავის აღარ ახსოვს, მაგრამ აქ ყოველთვის იყო კოლხეთი, ლაზეთი ე.ი. ყოველთვის იყო საქართველო და დარჩება კიდეც, აქაც და იქაც - ხელოვნურად აგებული კედლის მიღმა, მარჯვნივაც და მარცხნივაც.
თურქები, მონღოლები, ოტომანები, სპარსელები, სხვა დამყრობლები საუკუნეების განმავლობაში იპყრობდნენ საქართველოს. ზოგიერთი მათგანი - ბევრი სამეფო საერთოდ გაქრა რუკიდან, ზოგიერთთან კი, ძალიან კარგი ურთიერთობა გვაქვს; ბევრი დამპყრობლის სახელი შემორჩა ისტორიის წიგნებს, მაგრამ არ არსებობს ხალხი, რომელსაც ისინი მმართველის სახით ემახსოვრებათ, რადგან ეს ხალხები აღარ არსებობს.
ისინი მიდიოდნენ და მოდიოდნენ, საქართველო კი მუდმივად რჩებოდა „ჩვენ ტურფა საბაღნაროდ". ეს ადგილი არის ამ „ტურფა საბაღნაროს" ყველაზე მნიშვნელოვანი ნაწილი და ყველაზე ახლობელი თითოეული ჩვენგანისთვის.
ჩემო ძვირფასებო, რა თქმა უნდა, ძალიან დიდი გეგმები გვაქვს, მაგრამ ჩემთვის სრულიად ნათელი ერთი რამ არის - ჩვენ გვინდა მშვიდობა!
დროა გადავინაცვლოთ ფოირვერკების სანახავად, მაგრამ მინდა წინასწარ განვაცხადო, თუ ახლა მეორე მხარე გვისმენს განგაშს ნუ გამოაცხადებენ, რადგან ეს არის მხოლოდ ფოირვერკები.
ფოირვერკები მას შემდეგ დაიწყება, რაც ჩვენი მსოფლიო ვარსკვლავი, პიანისტი - ხატია ბუნიათიშვილი, პირველი გადაივლის ულამაზეს საფეხმავლო ხიდს.
შესაძლოა, მათ ფოირვერკების, რაკეტების მაინც და მაინც არ ეშინიათ, რადგან ისინი ხალხს არ ითვლიან - ას, ათას, ასიათას საკუთარ მოქალაქეზე აუკანკალებლად აიღებენ ხელს, მაგრამ ფოირვერკების, სიმღერების და, რაც მთავარია, თავისუფლების სულისა და აღმშენებლობის ისე ეშინიათ, როგორც სიკვდილის.
ჩვენ შეგვიძლია ბანაკები ავაშენოთ, ისინი კი შემოვიდნენ და დაგვიწვან; მაგრამ ჩვენი უფლებაა უკეთესი ახალგაზრდული ცენტრები, უკეთესი დისკოთეკები, უკეთესი ბუნგალოები, უკეთესი სასტუმროები, უკეთესი უნივერსიტეტები, უკეთესი გზები, უკეთესი აეროპორტები, უკეთესი საქართველო, უკეთესი მომავალი ხელახლა ავაშენოთ და ეს ჩვენი მთავარი ღირსებაა.
იქით არიან ბარბაროსები, აქეთ კი ცივილიზაციაა; იქით არის მონღოლოიდური გადმონაშთები და იდეოლოგია, ხოლო აქ - ნამდვილი, უძველესი კოლხური ევროპა, უძველესი ცივილიზაცია, უძველესი სიყვარული, უძველესი ნიჭიერება.
ამიტომ, ჩვენ ყოველთვის გავიმარჯვებთ ჩვენი განათლებით, შრომისმოყვარეობით, ენთუზიაზმით და ჩვენი ქვეყნის მომავლის დაუღალავი რწმენით - გამოუსწორებელი ქართული ოპტიმიზმით.

გაუმარჯოს საქართველოს!
გაუმარჯოს ჩვენს მომავალს!

23.08.11
Boulevard, aqua-park, yacht-club, Europe`s longest walking bridge, five star hotel Golden Fleece and several other hotels are now expecting visitors in the new resort city at the Black Sea Coast Anaklia.
The ordinary settlement has been granted a status of a resort city, after the government of Georgia announced it as a tourism zone and began large-scale infrastructure projects. The growth of tourist potential is still the priority of the government.
Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili and other senior authorities attended the presentation until late last night.
President met with locals after all events were over. Saakashvili walked inside the crowed and talked with them.
Tourists from various regions of Georgia were also attending the events dedicated to the presentation last night. The visitors were from Kakheti, Imereti, Kartli, Adjara and Tbilisi. People from the occupied Abkhazia also arrived in Anaklia to attend the presentation.
Mikheil Saakashvili walked on a new walking bridge together with a young Georgian pianist, Khatia Buniatishvili, singer Buba Kikabidze and other authorities. 550 meter long construction connects Anaklia with another resort settlement, Ganmukhuri.
The presentation included an impressive concert, where Khatia Buniatashvili performed several compositions, Megrelian Lullaby among them. She played together with the National Symphonic Orchestra conducted by Vakhntang Kakhidze. After the concert, president delivered a speech before the audience, focusing on the tourist potential of Anaklia, which is expected to receive 200,000 visitors in 2013.
The infrastructure development of the resort will continue. The projects include construction of a new motorway from Poti to Anaklia, which will take travelers 15 minutes to arrive from Poti to a new resort city.
President symbolically opened the construction of a new hotel in Anaklia last night. The hotel will be analog of the hotel Abkhazia in Sokhumi and it will be named Abkhazia too. A new resort complex with Aqua Park will be constructed by Canadian investors.
The government also plans to fund the restoration of the 7-th century fortress, which was the military base of Russian army for years.
The new resort is already hosting visitors. The presentation ened with magnificent fireworks last night.

Gremi Complex in Kakheti receives historic look and modern amenities

Gremi Monument - once a symbol of the thriving cultural and economic life of Kakheti, Georgia’s eastern region and then critically damaged during the invasions of the infamous Shah-Abas in the 16th century – was finally restored and visitors now will be able to see this magnificent complex in its original splendor.

In the Middle Ages, Kakheti carried great importance for the whole of Georgia- from the cultural to the social, as well as from a trading perspective. Evidence of this fact is the decision of Levan, the King of Kakheti, to build a large complex in the Kakhetian village of Gremi in 1565, which united religious, commercial and other facilities with multiple functions. However, for centuries, the site was largely abandoned and needed thorough restoration work.

One million Georgian lari was allocated from the country’s budget for the renovation work, which lasted three months. As a result, the monument regained its initial form, acquired modern elements and has become more attractive for cultural tourism.

As a result of the rehabilitation work that it underwent, all the architectural monuments on the archangel complex territory including the church, its bell tower and the King’s residence were restored; the newly discovered bath house was renovated; the Virgin Mary Church of Iveria was returned to the initial image; and the fence and the ancient wine cellar were repaired.

In addition, Gremi’s historical shopping district was modified and the Gremi Museum was also refurbished. The small museum features the region’s complex history; many informative exhibits such as portraits of the Georgian Kings by Levan Choghoshvili, their equipment and King Levan’s clothes are already on display.

Along with the sixteenth century exhibits, modern technology has contributed to a better understanding of the information pertaining to Gremi’s history and the complex; a screen was installed on the museum’s territory where a short film is shown about the region’s culture and history.

The historical complex was opened at the end of August with the President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili in attendance. Saakashvili declared that in addition to its historical and cultural importance, the Gremi complex is very important from a tourism development point of view and added that the monument is “a beacon of hope” for each unemployed resident of the Kakheti region.

The tourist infrastructure was improved nearby the Gremi Monument, roads to the sites and the tunnel were restored and informational banners were installed.

A new road section opened today
13.09.11
A new road that connects Zugdidi with Mestia has been officially opened today. The new 136 km-long highway has reduced the travel time between the two cities four times. If earlier it took eight hours to arrive from Zugdidi to Mestia, with a new road, the time has been reduced to 2 hours.
President of Georgia tested the new road together with the Minister of Economic Development Vera Kobalia and the Minister of Infrastructure and Regional Development Ramaz Nikolaishvili. The greatest part of the road is constructed of concrete due to the hard relief of the region.
This section of the highway was constructed in the 30-ies of the past century and was never rehabilitated since then. Only within the governmental program of regional development and tourism infrastructure development, the road was constructed from the very beginning. Within the rehabilitation project, six factories of concrete and asphalt were constructed in Svaneti Region.

Georgia`s National Defence Academy opens with new curriculum

Renewed Georgia`s National Defence Academy, which has no analog in the region, has started the new academic year with a new curriculum in the town of Gori in Shida Kartli Region of Georgia. President and Defence Minister visited the academy on Friday.

Mikheil Saakashvili arrived at the academy with his younger son Nikoloz.

The Davit Agmashenebeli National Defence Academy has achieved all the standards, as its analogous academies in teh western countries. It considers the best in the Caucasus Region. After having drawn up a special new curriculum, the military academy has turned into a universal one. Its students can receive a Bachelor`s degree, as well as
a lieutenant`s title.

150 students have been enlisted in teh academy after having passed national entry exams and strict physical and psychological tests. Professors and teachers had also to pass tests to be employed in the academy. Lecturers invited from foreign countries are also expected to give lectures to the future students of the academy.

The students will be provided with all necessary conditions in the academy to receive higher military education. The students will be completely provided with material and technical base.

As reported, the academy is also expected to carry out exchange programs with military high schools of international level. At the academy students will have to study for 4 years for bachelor`s degree and 2 years for master`s degree.

President Saakashvili addressed the students of tehacademy in the yard today.

"The historical fate of our country was that we were destroyed, razed to the ground and when they thought we fell down, we used to continue construction of our country. This academy is a symbol of our country`s revival", Saakashvili said.

"A lot of people today ask a question - what is Georgian doing in Afghanistan and I have heard that with deployment of the Georgian troops in Afghanistan the Georgian government gains political points. My office and life worth nothing to me when something concerns to my country and its interests. Deployment of the Georgian troops in Afghanistan is a priceless military experience of interaction with the world`s best troops.

"If there is a question whether Georgia is facing a threat and an enormous challenge, the answer is - of course it is; whether Georgian needs troops or not - of course if does; otherwise the country cannot live; whether the troops should have experience or not - of course they should have; whether we need assistance of more experienced allies - of course we do", he

Supermarket Smart to Open a New Branch in Marneuli
Written by Tako Khelaia
19/09/2011
The FINANCIAL -- Company Wissol will soon open one more Smart Trade Centre, this time in Marneuli, a region in eastern Georgia.

Other supermarkets are being built in Batumi, Poti, Akhaltsikhe, Zugdidi, Gori, Kvareli and other major cities of Georgia.

Soon customers in Batumi will enjoy a Smart trade centre with distinctive architecture in the heart of the city. According to the company, during the next 3 years Wissol Group plans to develop the Smart Supermarket network and will employ about 3,000 people to that end.

Smart supermarkets recently started offering products by the popular international coffee chain Starbucks . Starbucks ’ Espresso with milk, Seattle Latte, Latte with caramel and chocolate are on the shelves of Smart supermarkets located on Aghmashenebeli highway and in the Vazisubani district.

“Starbucks products first appeared in the country at Wissol Group’s supermarket chain Smart. Considering the high demand for the products, the company is already offering customers four Starbucks products. In the Smart chain Starbucks coffee is sold in cans and each unit’s price is about 5 GEL,” Smart officials note.

“Initially, only one Starbucks product was available at Smart, though demand has turned out to be so high that from now on we’re selling four products in our supermarkets. Offering exclusive products is a perpetual concern of Smart, therefore in the future we’re promising many interesting novelties to our faithful customers,” Smart representatives state.

Trade equipment in Smart supermarkets are imported from Italy. The products are imported from Germany and Holland.

“We are cooperating with almost all the distributing companies that exist in Georgia. We mostly pay attention to locally produced products and we try our best to support these products. This is a strategic decision of ours,” Samson Pkhakadze, General Director of Smart told The FINANCIAL.

“Smart supermarkets offer people a wide variety of food products and goods. We have our own bakery with a German chef. We have a special meat and fish production industry. We cooperate with the biggest importers of food products. One of them is Metro Cash and Carry brand Aro. And we are working with one of the Dutch importing companies that operates to a 24 hourly regime,” said Soso Mtvralashvili, Commercial Director of Smart.

Smart is continuing to offer people exclusive products. Smart represented German Brand Bio Greeno products in its Vazisubani branch recently.

“Bio Greeno products are especially useful for people’s health. The products of Bio Greeno don’t include genetically modified fertilizers, plants or artificial colourings,” Smart representatives note.

“Implementing and promoting a healthy lifestyle is one of the main parts of Wissol Groups’ strategy in the frames of Corporate Social Responsibility. That’s why we are developing Georgian sport and creating European standards sport infrastructure in Tbilisi as well as in different parts of Georgia. Creating a corner of Bio Greeno products is a part of the strategy at Smart. People who are fond of healthy living have a wide variety of choice when it comes to different Bio Greeno Products at Smart,” Smart officials note.

Entering the supermarket business in Georgia in 2010 Smart is a daughter brand of Wissol Group, one of the biggest commercial groups in Georgia. The first Smart supermarket was opened at Aghmashenebeli Alley 13km.

With its competitive advantages Smart strives to become the market leader in the sphere. Smart is oriented on consumer satisfaction and therefore offers: Products of high quality, Competitive prices, a WIFI zone, Pharmacy, TBC Pay box to make communal or other bill payments, ATM, Unicard services, and indoor cafe with take-away services as well.

Another international airport to open in Georgia

The ongoing construction of Poti International Airport, which will connect all regions within the Caucuses, will be opened in 18 months.

According to Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili, Poti Airport, which is situated near the Black Sea in the west part of Georgia, is expected to boost the number of foreign visitors in the region and play a very serious role in terms of developing the country.

“This is an ideally-selected town and site for the most important infrastructure project in this field,” Saakashvili said, while attending the commencement of the construction works on the airport.

The Poti airport will be the largest and most contemporary in Georgia, as well as the whole region. The airport is going to function in all types of weather; and all varieties of aircraft will be able to land at this airport.

This airport, according to Saakashvili, will bring increased revenue and help solve the unemployment problem in Georgia- particularly in this region.

The Ras Al Khaimah Investment Authority Georgia (Rakeen) bought a 98.2 percent stake in the airport in 2009 for $1 billion. The company is tasked with the responsibility of renovating the airport and providing logistic support to the Poti free industrial zone.

“Best Opportunity to Invest in Georgia is Now”, Keti Bochorishvili, GNIA Director
Written by Nana Mghebrishvili
26/09/2011 08:14
The FINANCIAL -- Foreign direct investments in first two quarters of 2011 amounted to 174 million USD according to the preliminary data of National Statistics Office of Georgia.

This is a significant increase compared to the same period of last year as investment volume has more than doubled and trade has increased by 43 percent. Bochorishvili also talked with the FINANCIAL about the current activities of the Georgian National Investment Agency.

Q. What are the best current business opportunities in Georgia?

A. As the Georgian market is not yet developed enough, there are many fields we advise our partners to invest in. I would single out several of them in particular though.

Energy sector has been attracting huge investment even during the most difficult times. I am talking about 2009-2010. During that period due to world financial crisis and as a consequence of Russian invasion investors were hesitant to commit big sums to other industries, but Georgian energy sector kept its attractiveness and currently more than dozen projects are under way with the total amount of investment exceeding two billion USD. .

Tourism is another sector in Georgia that is currently flourishing the most. As you know last year we had a record number of visitors, more than 2 million and we expected that munber to grow at average of 35% in the next 3-5 years. But if we will look at the data for the first half of 2011, we will see that reality has exceeded our expectations as by end of May of this year we had more than a million visitors coming to our country, which is a 45% increase If this pace keeps till end of 2011 and all the indications show that it will, Georgia will receive around 3 million people, which you would agree is quite an impressive number. All this raises confidence in foreign and local businessman and that is the reason that Batumi, Kobuleti, Anaklia and Tbilisi have new hotels openings practically every month.

We in this country have some very good 4 and 5 star hotels, but really lack quality 3 star hotels. Hence our agency is working intensively to attract investors who will establish a good network of 3 star hotels all around Georgia.

However tourism is not limited to the hotel business. As there are 9 climate zones in Georgia, investors have quite a wide range of choice for their business development. Seaside resorts as well as mountainous ones offer very good possibilities of development in different directions. If an investor is interested in health resorts, we’d advise the areas of Tskaltubo, Akhtala. Borjomi, Likani etc.

Because of good climate zones the land is very fertile in Georgia and the country is becoming interesting for investors in terms of agriculture. If a foreign businessman registers a company in Georgia, he can buy land and produce any type of product. Primary production as well as processing and packing are quite attractive businesses, theyl generate high profit.

Light manufacturing is rather lucrative sector of Georgian economy due to several factors including qualified workforce and low labour costs, low communal expenses, good trade relations and the geographical position of the country. Georgia is positioned on the crossroads of Europe, Asia, Middle East and Africa, and is an easiest and fastest transit route for passenger and cargo transportation. We have already included African nations in the list of our potential partners. Another factor that makes the sector attractive is favourable trade regimes with all neighbouring countries and rest of the world. We have a GSP+ regime with Europe, GSP with USA, Canada, Japan Switzerland and Norway. free trade regimes with Turkey and CIS states. .

Q. Why are investors starting businesses in Georgia specifically? What are the unique characteristics the country has to offer?

A. As I’ve already mentioned, highly qualified human recourses combined with low labour costs and corruption free evnironment are one of the main advantages of Georgia.

Asides from that, the current business environment is very convenient for investors. Establishing a company in the country is very easy and doesn’t require any extra bureaucratic processes. Searching for any kind of information about Georgia or business in the country is very simple. According to the World Bank Report 2011(Ease of Doing Business) it is easy to both start and run any kind of business in Georgia. In fact Georgia occupies 12th position, while in 2005 the country was on 112th place. I think you will agree this is a dramatic and highly positive change. Based on country’s ratings in prestigious international surveys more investors reveal interest and of course all of them want their business to be running in a favourable business climate.

The low rate of corruption is another advantage of the country. All investors check the rate of corruption before starting to think seriously about investments. A safe environment encourages businessmen to invest in Georgia.

The best business opportunities in Georgia are available right now. They are here. Few years from now Georgia will still be one of the best countries to start a business in, but the level of competition will surely rise and same opportunities won’t be around anymore. As an example, I’d single out privatization processes. Now is the time when the Government is selling its real estate to the private sector for lower prices than the real market prices are. After two years such opportunities will be exhausted. What is more important the most of real estate sites are in the very centre of Tbilisi and there is a high competition for such government owed privatization sites.

Q. Which countries are currently expressing firm interest in investing in Georgia?

A. In general all countries are interested in new regions and opportunities to invest in. Starting a business is easier and more profitable in countries where the business sector is not yet fully developed. Currently the main interest is coming from Asian countries including China, India, Persian Gulf countries, our neighbours Azerbaijan, Armenia, Ukraine etc. Turkey remains one of our main business partners and has been for a long time.

Q. What are the most important current investments in Georgia?

A. Currently we are working actively with China. We have almost completed negotiations and I hope that we’ll soon sign a contract on a construction of hotel in Anaklia.

There is another main investment in Adjara. One of the investors wants to build a hotel in Batumi with a conference hall for 4,500 people. That will significantly help the popularization of Batumi not only in summer but in winter as well. Such spacious facilities are practically non-existent in region.

There are lots of important negotiations going on in regards to agriculture. One investor from the Persian Gulf is interested in the nuts business and wants to build nut growing plantations in Georgia. He is one of the biggest nut providers to the USA.

Q. Cyprus is the leader in terms of investment in the first quarter of 2011. What are they making investments in and what is the reason for the high level of interest from them?

A. Yes, Cyprus and the Netherlands are the leaders in investments for the first quarter of 2011. But in reality these investments aren’t Cypriot. Simply speaking, lots of companies from various countries are registered in these two countries. When counting FDI, we count the country where the business is registered. That’s why Cyprus is the leader at the moment. There is nothing unusual about it. For example, the Italian company Ferrero is registered in the Netherlands and in FDI it’s counted as being from the Netherlands and not Italy. But everyone knows that Ferrero is an Italian company. So to define where investments are coming from is not always easy.

Q. How often do the countries interested in investments in Georgia change? Or do mostly the same countries tend to invest in Georgia?

A. The countries which I have already mentioned have been our partners for the last few years. Our main focus is currently on Asian countries. I’d say that we are open to the whole world and investments from any country are welcome. Any country interested in Georgia is our current priority.

Q. What would you say about Polish investments? How important are they to Georgia?

A. If we look at the Polish investments in 2010, there were quite few. But in 2011 we have had a huge increase in interest from Poland. We carried out several Georgian-Poland business forums in Georgia. Several business delegations were sent to Poland. We are trying to be more active in this direction. Poland is a friend to our country and we want to have better economic and business relations with them. We hope to have more investments from Poland and for trade between us to increase, which is most important.

Q. How many businesses are operating in Georgia in total? Out of them how many are foreign? How would you evaluate such a share?

A. We are interested in as many foreign investments as possible, but Georgian business is the backbone of the Georgian economy. The share of Georgian business is more than that of foreign business and that is a very acceptable trend for us. It’s significantly easier to attract investors when local business is well-developed.

Q. Trade and retail has the biggest share, almost half, of business activities in Georgia. Why is that?

A. First of all due to constant growth of GDP people start to have more disposable income, which in turn they spend buying varius goods. This will increase even more during the years to come, as standard of living in our country will keep growing. Second, our location as a regional centre draws big number of traders from neighbouring countries. For example, do you know what is our number one export product in 2011? Cars! And as you know we don’t produce any cars. In a short period Georgia became a hub for the car traders and currently we re-export vehicles to counties such Armenia, Azebaijan, Kazakhstan, etc. .

Q. What has been the most important recent change in the business sector in Georgia?

A. I would name ” Act of Economic Freedom”, so called “Liberty Act” as the most important initiative of Georgian Government. Through that initiative we assure our foreign partners and local businessman that current policy of liberal economy and open market principles will be preserved no matter what type of government will be in power.

Q. Please tell us more about the activities of the agency. What tools and means do you use to bring in more investments?

A. Our main aim is to attract as many investments as possible. We try to do it in different ways. Currently we are working to popularize Georgia as a place of shooting movies. We had negotiations going on with Bollywood producers for 8 months and fortunately our hard work with valuable contribution of Ministry of Culture has paid its toll as Indian producers will start shooting two films in November of this year. Partnership with Bollywood is important for quite a few reasons. Not counting the budget of the movies, which will exceed few million of USD, we will popularise Georgia as an attractive business and tourism destination in the market of more than a billion people. Positive outcome of this project is unimaginable. For example, the scene of one Bollywood movie depicted just-married couple spending their honeymoon in Switzerland. After the film’s release, about a million Indians travelled to Switzerland with most of them visiting the country in order to spend their honeymoon there.

Currently we are working on establishing relations with the Barrandov studio in the Czech Republic. We’ll start negotiations with other studios as well. We want to make Georgia a place of making movies.

Our joint project with the leading Ukrainian TV channel “Inter” is one of the best tools for the promotion of Georgia, its tourism potential and diverse economic sectors in Ukraine . There have been 18 shots dedicated to Georgia in morning Tv programme. Many government representatives along with Arts people and civil society were interviewed in order to inform Ukrainian audience on attracton of the country. Tbiulisi, Batumi, Anaklia and Martvili, Kakheti these are the places INTER producers visited and depicted beauty of Georgia.

Our name suggests that we are an investment promotion Agency, but in reality we are responsible for Export Promotion as well. In order to promote local beverage products we are organising first international Beverage Conference in Georgia which will be attended by more than 100 traders from all over the world. Among the guests will be Ms. Perrotti-Brown from Singapore who has a title of “Master of Wine” and is writing for the worlds most renown wine publication. Conference will be held during Novebmer 25-26 of this year and we would like to invite everyone to attend this event and support Georgian producers.Our target segment for alcoholic drinks is China. We have a well-defined plan of how to reach our target market and hope that Georgian wine consumption will soon increase in China. For non alcoholic ones we target Gulf countries.

Saakashvili Opens House of Justice in Kutaisi
By Salome Modebadze
Thursday, October 6
The President of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili, opened a House of Justice, the fourth of its kind, in Kutaisi on October 4. Emphasizing the importance of modern technologies, the president welcomed the successful reforms in the justice sector. Stating the government plan for making Kutaisi “the second capital” of Georgia, Saakashvili said officials would make good on all promises given to citizens.

Praising the new parliamentary building and House of Government under construction and to be opened in Kutaisi, the president highlighted the constant contact between the legislative and executive bodies which would both be accountable to the people. According to information released by the president, the new House of Government will be opened on November 23 this year, while the first parliamentary session of the new legislative office would be held on the Day of Independence of Georgia on May 26, 2012.

In summer 2011 MPs passed an amendment moving the parliamentary building form the capital Tbilisi to Kutaisi. This decision caused great controversy both in politics and society. But as the ruling United National Movement members explained, this step was aimed as decentralizing the country and supporting the development of the regions.

President Saakashvili promised lots of innovations in Kutaisi, explaining that their House of Justice would be “the best in the whole world”. Stressing that several developed countries have already expressed a desire to learn from Georgia’s reforms, the president welcomed the fact that such reforms have become "our know-how". He continued: “just as we have knowledge of how to govern with the House of Justice, Georgian police, mechanisms against corruption, the new tax code and so on, we now have to invent know-how in technology so that the rest of the world can benefit from our experience and successful reforms.” Saakashvili said he planned “serious steps” to follow including the renovation of the education system and significant technology innovations in all spheres.

The newly opened House of Justice offers a wide range of services to its users just like three similar offices in Rustavi, Batumi and Mestia. Moreover, the Kutaisi House of Justice is the first to unify the services of various governmental bodies. At the end of the opening ceremony the six promoted freshmen of Kutaisi State University, with the highest scores at the Unified National Exams, received ID cards from the president.

Renovated Ski Resorts in Georgia Now Awaiting Tourists
Written by Mariam Papidze
10/10/2011
The FINANCIAL -- It’s time to plan your winter holidays.

The mountain-ski resorts of Georgia are ready to open the season from December 25. Gudauri, Bakuriani and Mestia, the top three winter resorts in the country, are currently carrying out their last preparatory activities. This winter mountain trail is offering visitors renewed infrastructure, improved service and new tourism products. In addition different cultural events will be organized too.

There are 300 winter resorts in Georgia. However the Georgian National Tourism Agency highlighted Gudauri and Mestia in terms of infrastructure development this year. New ski tracks are to be opened soon. Bakuriani and Kazbegi have been renovated as well.

Gudauri is perfect for extreme sports. It is attractive for extreme sports amateurs. Just a two hour drive from Tbilisi , Gudauri is located in the Kazbegi area of Georgia, at a height of 2,196 m.

The mountain-skiing season in Gudauri lasts from December till April.

“People can take advantage and test themselves at Heli Ski. But the most attractive thing in Gudauri is the free ride - descent through virgin fields. The deep blanket of snow, absence of stones and avalanche danger make Gudari very suitable for free riding,” explained Kazbegi Municipality.

Form 2010 the owner of Gudauri is Ukrainian Private Group, which bought 87% of its shares for 14.5 million USD. The Group owns hotel Gudauri, 12 cottages, 5 cableways and mountain-ski slopes. But the governor of the resort is Tbilisi City Hall.

“As for the environment, Mestia is unique in this respect. There is a brilliant combination of ski infrastructure and cultural heritage in Mestia. Visitors can enjoy the unique Svan towers, museums, local traditions, cuisine and new ski infrastructure as well,” said Beka Jakheli, Deputy Director of the Georgian National Tourism Agency.

Mestia is a highland in northwest Georgia, at an elevation of 1,500 metres in the Caucasus Mountains. There is a humid climate, cold winter and short summer. The average annual temperature is 5.7 °C, in January it is 6.4°C, and in July - 16.4°C.

The Head of Mestia, Shmagi Nakani says that the resort is ready to receive visitors. “The new infrastructure - the Zugdidi-Mestia road, main bridge, House of Justice, police and municipality buildings, hostel Seti, sports activities on Hatsvali mountain, biking, kite competitions, ballooning, cultural events, local handcraft exhibitions, local cuisine tastings, fireworks and other facilities are on offer to visitors. Hotels and Guesthouses, electricity pools and cableways are already repaired. We offer different tours to visitors and all tours will be affordable,” said Nakani.

“An ideal choice for a winter family vacation is a visit to Bakuriani. Families with children have access to special conditions there. There is a wonderful and appropriate environment for families in winter as there is a useful climate for kids,” added Jakheli.

Bakuriani is one of the most beautiful winter resorts in the world. Extensive sunshine, high mountainous climate, average snowfall, 12 ski tracks of different levels of difficulty, spectacular views, renowned Georgian cuisine, and family atmosphere - all of this makes a winter spent here unforgettable!

Bakuriani is situated on the northern slope of the Trialeti Range in the Borjomi Valley of Georgia, at an altitude of 1,700 m.

New hotels and guesthouses are now open in Bakuriani. “Visitors are already reserving rooms in the hotels. Mainly foreigner visitors and in particular Azeri people reserve them. Many visitors want to spend the New Year in Bakuriani,” said Marika Makieva, Senior Specialist at the Bakuriani National Tourism Agency. “Visitors are faced with a big choice - skiing, skating on a special rink, horseback riding, a cableway and so on. There will be also be quadricycle tours available for the route - Tabatskuri-Bakuriani. This tour takes the whole day and costs 200 USD per person. It includes having a picnic in the nature,” she added.

All three resorts offer visitors almost the same facilities and the prices are the same too: an hour skate skiing costs 5 GEL; cableway - 5 GEL; an hour horseback riding - 20 GEL. Goggles, skis, ski poles and snowboards are all available for rent. The prices are 5 GEL for goggles and ski poles, 30 GEL for skis and snowboards.

Hotels prices vary from 25 USD to 160 USD. As for the guesthouses 50 GEL is the average price.

Minibuses from Didube and Vagzali stations go to Bakuriani for 10 GEL; to Mestia - for 30 GEL and to Gudauri - for 5 GEL.

An air ticket for Mestia from Tbilisi International Airport costs 150 GEL, but from Natakhtari Airport it costs 40 GEL.

The French government will allocate Euro 18 million in long-term loans and Euro 700 thousand in the form of a grant for the development of the infrastructure of Mestia ski resort, in the high mountainous region of Svaneti, located in the Caucasus Mountains.

In particularly, the fund will be spend on the construction of the modern ski lifts in the resort. The construction work wills starts by the end of this year.

Georgia’s Minister of Finance, Dimitri Gvindadze, the Minister of Finance of Georgia and Eric Fournier, the Ambassador of France to Georgia, signed the financial protocol outlining the financial agreement pertaining to the support of Mestia ski resort. The decision of the supportto support the project was made during the visit of French President Nikolas Sarkozy, the French President and the several French high officials from France on October 7 in Georgia.

According to Gvindadze, the new ski lift will turn Mestia into an important location for ski lovers and nature lovers alikeski-mountain sport followers. “This is part of the efforts [made by] of the Georgian government to enhance the attractiveness of Mestia for the tourists,” he told the Georgian media outlets.

In additionMoreover, the French side will also assist Georgia in preparing a long-term development plan for the Svaneti region.

Mestia has emerged as a year-round ski resort starting from January of 2011 January.

At the resort, the newly-constructed lift station is 1,500 meters above sea level and is surrounded by 3,000-5,000 meter peaks. Three ski routes have been builting in Svaneti complying with the highest international standards.

The length of the red ski route for professional skiers is 2,600 meters long; the blue route targets less experienced skiers and it is 2,670 meters in length; with the 300-meter-long Mugviiri route for amateur skiers.

The ski lift was constructed by Leitner - Poma Inc, an internationally-renowned French company which specializes in cable-driven lift systems. The lift is 1,400 meters in length and offers four-seat open cabins, enabling skiers to reach the peak of the route in comfort. It starts at an altitude of 1,800 meters and reaches 2,350 meters at its highest point.

Heli-skiing and summer skiing on the high peaks is likely to attract many skiers from around the world.

Since the highland resort is difficult to access in wintertime, a new airfield was constructed in Mestia last year.

The major hotels in Svaneti include the Mestia, Ushba, Tetnuldi, and Svaneti hotels which can accommodate 400-450 people. There are also 50 guesthouses which can hold 250-300 tourists in total.

"We are with one hand fighting on the foreign front. Nobody should say that Georgia has lost something or war. We will fight for victory until our hands are up. Here we are in teh homeland of Ilia (Georgian writer and public figure of the 19th century). The main political science for me comes from Ilia Chavchavadze", Saakashvili said.
He said there are several lakes in Kvareli, like Lopota, Kvareli Lakes, although it was agreed that no other name would suite a lake more than Ilia.
"In Ilia`s time Georgia was not independent. Russian soldiers stood here, like they are standing in Abkhazia and Tskhinvali, but he never doubted that Georgia should free and independent. So what`s wrong with some Georgians today, whom the God gave the free republic to and who are still missing slavery, serfdom, vassal`s state; missing to subordinate to somebody and receive instructions from somebody. One may think that his country does not appreciate him or does not have him on the pedestal you deserve but this are not enough grounds for him to hate or sell his country; to reject freedom; to collaborate with the enemy and wag his tag, as there is nothing higher than freedom", Saakashvili said.
The president there has never been this kind of reconstruction in Georgia as it is going on now.
"This lake is a start of a new stage for Kakheti. Not because there is my agricultural plot close from here and I may like to ride a bike around here", he said adding that the next year is going to be the year of Kakheti Region and the government intends to implement a number of plans in teh region.

На Тетнулди должны построить новый курорт
17/11/2011

У вершины Тетнулди будет построен новый курорт. Как заявил Михаил Саакашвили на встрече с большинством, курорт будет благоустраиваться по грузино-французскому проекту, стоимость которого составляет 70 млн лари. План развития курорта будет подготовлен к весне 2012 года.

Гора Тетнулди, одна из четырёх-тысячников Кавказа. Вершина возвышается в Сванетии, одной из живописнейших регионов Грузии.

Президент также отметил, что надо уделить серьезное внимание развитию курорта Боржоми и самым большим сюрпризом для общественности должен стать проект Ахалцихе.

По словам президента, Грузия, в то же время, должна с большей интенсивностью работать над привлечением инвесторов даже в тех условиях, когда в соседних странах их количество снижается.

New Hotel and Business Plans from Temur Chkhonia
Written by Mariam Papidze, The FINANCIAL
21/11/2011

The FINANCIAL -- Temur Chkhonia, owner of Coca-cola Bottlers Georgia, McDonald’s chain in Tbilisi and Kutaisi, and Georgia Palace Hotel in Kobuleti, is planning new business expansion. Another GPH Hotel is to be opened in Tbilisi and one in Mestia too. The businessman also plans to add new McDonald’s restaurants in other Georgian cities.l

Mr. Temur Chkhonia shared his plans and vision in an interview with The FINANCIAL.

Q. Georgia Palace Hotel is an exclusive five-star hotel in Georgia. Why did you decide to build it in the summer resort Kobuleti and not for example in Batumi, or in the capital city Tbilisi ?

A. Kobuleti is the best destination for people who are looking for beauty and health because of its rare micro climate. Kobuleti is a true health resort. It is the best place for ‘air therapy’. The climate of the resort has a positive effect on people suffering from chronic cardio-vascular disease. Kobuleti’s beach is one of the best beaches on the Black Sea coast. There is a unique marsh in Kobuleti. It is a very beautiful and clean area in the city. The marsh regulates the climate and humidity of the resort. The marsh, Mtirala Mountain and seaside climate combine to make a wonderful synthesis for the perfect holiday. This is one of the main reasons why I chose this location for Georgia Palace HoteL.

The development of tourism in Georgia means that Tbilisi is the most promising and profitable place in the country. Though the regions are developing in the country as well, there is no better place than Tbilisi for the hotel business. This is a traditional and renowned place in the Caucasus. Most of our clients are from those countries which know us very well. These are mainly post soviet countries. Georgia’s growing awareness in the world started in 2008, from the period of the war onwards. Tourism is one of the bases of awareness.

Q. Please tell us about the building of Georgia Palace Hotel. How did the idea to build the hotel first arise?

A. It is difficult for me to answer this question because the hotel’s construction project was very emotional for me. Before Georgia Palace Hotel on that plot of land there was a sanatorium named Georgia. It was one of the most prestigious resting places in the Soviet Union. Only important figures were able to stay in the hotel. When I was a little boy, my mother and I used to spend our holidays in rented rooms. It was always my dream to stay in that sanatorium, however I was not allowed to spend my holidays there. So I used to secretly look into the yard of the sanatorium. I saw waiters and waitresses dressed in white, serving beautiful ladies and gentlemen. The gate was opening and I saw someone, a very important person, sitting in a black car entering the sanatorium’s courtyard.

It was a mysterious place for me. It was at that time that I promised myself that one day I would buy the sanatorium and let everyone have the opportunity to go there and enjoy their holidays. My dream came true when I bought the sanatorium at auction. I have since built a new, modern hotel and now my hotel’s door is open to everyone.

Q. Who are your partners in the hotel management process?

A. Some Italians are our partners. Architects from Italy and Peru built Georgia Palace Hotel. Georgian architect Marika Tsagareli worked with them as well. Our hotel is based on Italian style. We have the best equipment in the world and everything is Italian. The head chef and the manager of our hotel are both Italian. Italians are famous throughout the world in the hotel management sector, which is why I chose them as my partners.

Q. You opened Georgia Palace Hotel in 2007. Why have you not opened another Georgia Palace Hotel in other cities of Georgia since then?

A. I am planning network expansion and am going to open an 18-room hotel on Erekle Street in Tbilisi , but this will happen after 2014. Now I am oriented on opening new branches of McDonald’s. One of them will be opened in Batumi and one of them in Tbilisi , next year. The most beautiful McDonald’s will be opened next to Didube Metro Station. I believe there should be 12 McDonald’s in total in Tbilisi . We plan to open new McDonald’s restaurants in Rustavi, Telavi and in other cities.

We are building a new hotel in Mestia as well. We have already opened a hotel in Sighnaghi. It is a very beautiful hotel with its own perfect restaurant as well. Its name is Solomoni 1805 and was opened in 2010.

Q. What is your contribution to the development of the infrastructure in Kobuleti?

A. I have done lots of things for Kobuleti and I don’t think there are any other people who have done the same. Kobuleti has become a more popular resort. We are like the ‘golden standard’. No one wants to build a worse hotel than ours. They try to make their hotels look like Georgia Palace Hotel. Many professionals are trained in our hotel. After our trainings, they then go on to work in the Radisson, Sheraton and other hotels. We bring a large sum of money to the local budget. And, finally, there is the hotel in Kobuleti, which is one of the best hotels in the world.

President opened Local History and Culture in Kutaisi
22.11.11
President of Georgia opened a new building of Local History and Culture in Kutaisi today. President said he was impressed with the new museum.
For many years I have been thinking that the Kutaisi Museum of Local History and Culture needed a good and solid building. We tried many ways to modernize the building situated on the city`s main square, we mobilized state resources, asked private companies to donate, but none of them showed interest. Finally, we decided to arrange the museum in this building. This is really a very good day for me, because Kutaisi welcomed us with sunny and warm weather and bright faces,` president said.
President said he was proud to have the honor of opening the museum. Saakashvili also spoke about the new house of government, which will be opened in Kutaisi later today. He said the opening of the government`s house was a preparatory phase for the transfer of parliament from Tbilisi to Kutaisi.
`On May 26, the first session will be held at the new parliament of Georgia, which is under construction in the automobile factory settlement. It is important not only for Kutaisi, but Tskaltubo, Khoni and for all Georgia,` Saakashvili said.

Аэропорт Кутаиси – воздушные ворота второй столицы Грузии

http://www.novate.ru/files/u4755/kataisiairport-1.jpg

Еще десять лет назад город Кутаиси носил не очень почетное звание «воровской столицы Грузии». Но за это время здесь все очень сильно изменилось. И с 2012-го года Кутаиси станет второй столицей Грузии – сюда переедет Парламент. Тогда же в этом городе откроется и новый аэропорт, строительство которого началось пару дней назад.

http://www.novate.ru/files/u4755/kataisiairport-2.jpg

Инфраструктурные преобразования Грузии впечатляют! За короткое время здесь появились хорошие дороги, стеклянные полицейские участки и государственные учреждения, новые погранпереходы, новые аэропорты. Одни проекты уже осуществлены, а реализация других только начинается. К примеру, на днях началось строительство нового аэропорта в городе Кутаиси, который после переезда туда Парламента Грузии весной 2012-го года станет второй столицей этой кавказской страны.

http://www.novate.ru/files/u4755/kataisiairport-3.jpg

Проект аэропорта Кутаиси разработала нидерландская компания UNstudio, уже известная нам по множеству своих работ. Например, по аэропорту Брюсселя, многогранному театру Agora Theatre или зданию музея Mercedes Benz.

Проект этот предусматривает строительство совсем небольшого (сам Кутаиси – город скромных размеров, имеет население 192 тысячи человек) терминала площадью 4 тысячи квадратных метров. На этом пространстве поместятся зоны прилета, отлета и транзита международных и внутренних рейсов.
Будет построена также 55-метровая диспетчерская башня, имеющая весьма футуристический вид, отдаленно напоминающий современный олимпийский факел.

http://www.novate.ru/files/u4755/kataisiairport-4.jpg

Аэропорт Кутаиси станет одним из первых в Грузии «зеленых» зданий. Он будет построен с таким расчетом, чтобы внутрь сооружения попадало максимум дневного света. На крыше его будут установлены солнечные панели. А горячие природные источники, находящиеся под будущим зданием аэропорта, позволят естественным образом обогревать его в холодное время года.

http://www.novate.ru/files/u4755/kataisiairport-5.jpg

Проект аэропорта Кутаиси, на данный момент, находится на стадии начала реализации. К концу ноября планируется закончить подготовку площадки, а с декабря начать полномасштабное строительство сооружения. Сдать аэропорт в эксплуатацию планируют в сентябре 2012-го года. Сроки, конечно, кажутся нереальными, но не для Грузии!

The President of Georgia toured the construction of the Kutaisi movie theater
Mikheil Saakashvili toured the “Sakartvelo” movie theater in Kutaisi today and noted that development of such infrastructure is very important. According to the President, in order for Kutaisi to become the second capital of Georgia it is necessary to develop it in terms of economy, tourism and infrastructure.

“Kutaisi is becoming grandiose again. The “spirit” of this city is known to us only from history textbooks. Its scale and meaning has practically been lost. In the urban sense, Kutaisi no longer had an economic function and the city of such great importance had turned into a village. This was not right. What is happening now is only the beginning. The buildings have been constructed as a result of private investments, but of course the state is controlling all of the projects and offering the investors new projects. We have a plan for developing this city. When we have a lot of such buildings, when we revive our streets, open cafes, stores, and small businesses, when tourists arrive and people will be employed here, the income will rise. This is what gives the city its life; not the administrative buildings or even its history. These buildings only assist in the process of developing this city. You can see that aside from the government house, this beautiful building of the movie theater has been built by private investment. The construction of houses has already begun. For years, even during the times of economic hardship, houses were being built in Tbilisi, but not here. So, what all of this means is returning life to Kutaisi, which will also continue in the future” – noted Mikheil Saakashvili.

28.11.11
President Saakashvili visited a newly opened multi-functional complexes constructed by the Wissol and Sokar energy companies along the central highway in Gori today. Along with the gas stations, the territory offers several entertainment centres and parks to travelers.
President also opened a new 800 meter-long automobile tunnel, which is located on the 15 km long sector of the Sveneti-Ruisi motorway. President hailed the new projects saying the country was developing.
`Such places are the dream of travelers. You can sit, like it is in Sweden or America`s best places, but in America there are not places like this... You sit with your laptop open, get information, work, rest and continue the trip. We could not even dream of it 2-3- years ago. Georgia is moving forward very speedily becoming a civilized country. We still have economic problems, low incomes, but we are developing,` Saakashvili said.
Wissol and Sokar multi-function complexes were designed by a German architect Jorgen Meyer.

Multi-functional complex of Socar new standard for Georgian roads
Mahir Mammedov: “Our goal is to have maximally satisfied customers”

SOCAR Georgia Petroleum’s multi-functional complex located on the Gori highway has become the center of interest for foreigners. A few days ago, the president of Georgia ceremoniously opened the complex; he was the first passenger and the first customer. The complex is distinguished with its unique architecture and infrastructure and is equipped with all the modern technological accoutrements.

The SOCAR Georgia Petroleum complex was designed, constructed and opened in record time (9 months). It was designed by the well-known German architect Jurgen Meier. The same architect designed the Sarpi (Turkey) customs checkpoint.

The multi-functional complex is situated on four-thousand square meters of land. In addition to petrol, the complex offers a Goodwill supermarket and a fast food site located on the premises, as well as a bank a tourist service center, a children’s entertainment center, drugstore, Internet cafй and of course public toilets.

“There are good conditions here and it is inexpensive. This is the new standard for Georgian roads,” President Mikheil Saakashvili said, adding that “competition will increase the quality.”

According to the General Manager of Socar, Mahir Mammedov, the construction of the complex cost around $10 million.

“This is a unique site with its design and high quality. We provide full comfort for passengers and there are Georgian-produced souvenirs available for tourists,” Mahir Mammedov said.

The petrol station is equipped with cutting-edge Japanese technologies that ensure precise fuel fill-ups. It is noteworthy that SOCAR employs up to 100 people on this site and most of the people are internally displaced persons (IDP’s).

As mentioned above, this multi-functional complex has created great interest; this includes representatives of international organizations accredited in Georgia, foreign tourists and frequent visitors of the complex.

SOCAR Georgia Petroleum has several similar multi-functional complexes across Georgia. Passengers from Rustavi, Zestaponi and Gonio complexes can enjoy all kinds of high quality services – restaurants, parking accommodations for trailers, supermarkets, open places for rest, sports grounds and the like.

In addition, for the first time in Georgia, McDonald’s restaurants will be placed in several SOCAR petroleum stations; a McDrive service will start operating. According to Mahir Mammedov, construction of the site is underway in Batumi. “This is an innovative project, a totally new direction. The joint infrastructure of McDonalds and SOCAR will be built with a refined, modern design,” Mahir Mammedov says.

SOCAR Georgia Petroleum is a leading company on the Georgian oil products’ market and for the last three years it has been the largest tax-payer in the Georgian state budget.

Currently, SOCAR Georgia Petroleum has 83 petrol stations in Georgia. The number will increase to 90 by the end of the year. In the first half of 2012, the network of SOCAR stations will expand to 130 stations. There are bathrooms that are on par with European standards that offer hot and cold water at every petrol station.

“SOCAR has the most modern petrol stations in Georgia. We have received many prizes in this regard. All stations are equipped with the high-technology columns of Tatsuno production, which ensures the precise tanking of fuel. Our goal is to have maximally satisfied customers,” Mahir Mammedov said.

Apart from employing hundreds of people, in 2011, SOCAR Georgia Petroleum invested 60 million Lari into the development of the Georgian economy.

Wissol, Socar open recreation and service complexes on highway

Two leading companies on the local oil market,Wissol and Socar, opened recreation and service complexes on the Gori section of the east-west highway on Monday.

According to Samson Pkhakadze, the Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Wissol Group, these new projects will allow people an opportunity to get all the necessary services while traveling on the highway.

Apart from the complex, Wissol created a corner for agricultural products in a bid to give local people the opportunity to sell farm products on the roadside in more comfortable conditions.

“Georgia is becoming more and more attractive for foreign tourists,” Pkhakadze said at the opening ceremony, adding that “such complexes make their journey through Georgia much more comfortable.”

The Architecture of the complexes belongs to the German Architect Jurgen Mayer. In total, 16 multifunctional complexes will be constructed along the East-West Highway, which connects the eastern and western parts of Georgia. The construction process is expected to be complete by 2014.
