Government to Turn Winter Resort Bakuriani into All-Season Destination

The Georgian government has launched a new tourism development project to turn the country’s popular winter ski resort Bakuriani into a four-season mountain destination for holiday seekers. The project includes development of tourism infrastructure in the region.

New hotels, guest houses, cottages and restaurant and entertainment facilities catering for up to 500 people are to be built there.

On August 12, Georgia’s Prime Minister, Giorgi Kvirikashvili, visited Bakuriani and its neighbouring Mitarbi area to see construction works of a new ski lift, expected to be finished by the end of the year.

“This project will be beneficial for the local population, will boost development of tourism and will set Bakuriani on the list of popular international ski resorts,” Kvirikashvili said.

The government head emphasized that several international companies have participated in designing the 10-15 year development concept for both Mitarbi and Bakuriani.
