- In your assessment, how attractive is the Georgian hospitality sector for the investors today, and what unique investment value is created by your hotel/destination specifically?

Georgia’s tourism industry has achieved a remarkable growth over the past decade. Due to the high demand and occupancy rates, the number of international brand hotels is rapidly growing in Georgia. Georgia offers considerable potential to develop beach resorts, medical and wellness destinations, winter-ski resorts, and four-season destinations. To further support the growth of the sector, the Georgian Government introduced a new incentive program for the hotel industry development in the regions of Georgia. New instruments include co-financing of interest rates for new projects, franchise/management contracts, consulting services. Over the last 7 years, the occupancy rate for all types of hotels has been approximately 65%. Growth of key performance indicators, such as Average Daily Rate (ADR) and Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR), hotel occupancy rates confirm the attractiveness of investment opportunities in the hospitality and real estate sector of Georgia. 

As to our hotel, our main forecasts which we aim to achieve is:

ADR 100

Occupancy Rate: 55%

Which is quite achievable even though hotel is seasonal, cause we offer different facilities to our guests which is needed for conferences, relaxation, medical treatment etc.

Hotel is mainly for leisure tourists, but  as described above, hotel is located in the very center of 2 main airport of Georgia so we have different business visitors from different countries.
