The Project Development Objective is to improve infrastructure services and institutional capacity to support increased contribution of tourism in the local economy of the Samtskhe-Javakheti and Mtskheta- Mtianeti regions. The project aims at addressing challenges identified during the project preparation period and follows integrated approach to urban and tourism development. Through its various components the project is expected to lead to improved urban and tourist infrastructure, enhanced cultural heritage assets and increased capacity for tourism-based local economic development in these two regions. The economic benefits linked to the above are multiple, such as improved urban infrastructure, including public spaces, streetscapes and municipal roads, improved urban liveability and increased safety of movement for locals. At the same time, these investments are expected to make selected municipalities better places to visit and more attractive places to invest, promoting private investment and increasing income generating opportunities in the project area. Cultural heritage enhancements will lead to the preservation of global public goods, but are also expected to lead to increased willingness to visit/pay for tourist and increased property prices in neighbouring areas. The proposed investments are aligned with the regional development strategies, prepared with technical assistance from EU for Mtskheta-Mtianeti and by GiZ for Samtskhe-Javakheti.

  • Georgia Journey Across the Mystical Caucasus | September 25 – October 5, 2020
    Open to alumni UBC and friends GEORGIA JOURNEY ACROSS THE MYSTICAL CAUCASUS | SEPTEMBER 25 – OCTOBER 5, 2020 Discover one of Europe’s (or Asia’s?) best kept secrets. Georgia’s rich national story has remained hidden for centuries and is only now opening to the enterprising traveller. We’ve found it to be a country of breath-taking landscapes and fascinating streetscapes. The architecture, art, and religion, as well as its rich cuisine, reflect centuries of invasion and conquest by Greeks, Mongols, Ottomans, and Russians. Meet the country’s famously hospitable people as you explore one of the most beautiful countries in the world! Explore Tbilisi with expertly guided strolls through eclectic districts. This is a “happening city” with so many varied influences; brutalist Soviet buildings, Orthodox churches, and Art Nouveau architecture are side by side. It feels European, medieval, and foreign all at once. Spend time in the atmospheric hill town of Signagi to taste wine in the birthplace of viticulture and learn to prepare the signature kachapouri. Drive along the spectacular Georgian Military Highway through granite cliffs to stay at the foot of Mt. Kazbeg. At Mtskheta see the fine Orthodox churches dating from the 4th century and at Vardzia, extraordinary examples of cave architecture and frescoes in magnificent monasteries. Food is of paramount importance in this beguiling country. We’ll enjoy fabulous meals, fusing the flavours of Turkey, Iran, and the Slavic regions into something uniquely Georgian, and sample the wines from the home of viticulture. Enjoy a traditional supra, hosted by the tamada (a sort of toastmaster), telling stories, leading songs, and inviting rounds of toasts.
