Georgia opens new opportunities to its visitors by offering a newly established Tea Route.

 

The newly established Tea Route creates touristic and development opportunities from the Black Seaside region of Adjara to the mountainous parts of Guria region in the country’s west.

 

The United Nations Development Proggramme (UNDP) and the governments of Switzerland and Austria assist local municipalities “team up with business and communities to unlock this rich potential”.

 

Representatives of 25 tourist operators and over 20 Black Sea hotels gathered in the region of Guria on July 11-12 to discuss touristic potential of the newly established Tea Route in Western Georgia, UNDP reported.

 

UNPD also informed that the two-day workshop included the meetings with the local entrepreneurs, visits to the trout farms, ethno-tours around the region and discussions with representatives of the Adjara and Guria local self-governments.

 

Georgia has stepped up its efforts to encourage development of tea production in the country a couple of years ago. To achieve this, the state program was launched aimed to rehabilitate the country’s tea plantations.
