The Ministry of Infrastructure of Georgia reported that the country is preparing a large-scale project to transform the Anaklia–Ganmukhuri coastal zone into a major tourism destination, while also addressing urgent coastal erosion challenges.
Infrastructure Minister Revaz Sokhadze said the Black Sea coastline in this area holds significant potential for tourism development and regional economic growth. The project will include full rehabilitation of the coastal zone and the construction of modern tourism infrastructure. A construction tender is expected to be announced following completion of the planning phase.
At the same time, authorities have begun emergency works to mitigate coastal erosion, particularly in Ganmukhuri, where the shoreline has reportedly advanced inland by up to 100 meters in certain areas, causing land loss. The Roads Department of Georgia is currently working to restore damaged segments
The ministry has also initiated a broader research of erosion-prone areas along Georgia’s Black Sea coast, involving international experts. The study develops long-term strategies to protect the shoreline while supporting sustainable tourism and infrastructure development.
