Tell us about your ambitions regarding contributions to Georgia’s developing tourism sector.
Our primary marketing and PR strategy focuses on highlighting the uniqueness of the regions where our hotels are located. To do this, we’ve produced a series of commercial videos that showcase the distinct characteristics of each area to our target audience. Additionally, we offer tailored sightseeing tours that not only raise awareness about these regions but also increase visitors’ overall satisfaction.

Tell us about the HR selection process and how you encourage development among your team.
We follow a standard recruitment process, but what sets us apart is our commitment to supporting talented young people. We provide opportunities for professional growth through training and educational activities.
