Project description

Zebur is very close to home and proud of his village and its cultural and historical heritage. The entrepreneur owns a farm, which he runs alongside his employment at a local school. Due to the increase in tourism in recent years, Zebur has realized that his company's services offer ideal conditions for developing the agritourism business. His farm is located between the regional capital of Khulo and an up-and-coming ski resort. Zebur uses two off-road vehicles to transport winter and summer guests to nearby mountain regions. However, the heart of the company is undoubtedly the extremely diverse agricultural business with fruit, vegetable and berry crops as well as the production of cheese, honey, wine and meat products. He aims to bring his guests closer to rural life by offering courses on making cheese, bread and local dishes - a further contribution to the development of gentle mountain tourism in Khulo.

Zebur has already had some pleasant encounters with European tourists. And he already has his sights set on the next project: attracting Georgian companies that are looking for company outings and activities to bring working groups together.
