Project description

The 50-year-old runs the tourism company together with her husband. The guesthouse, which has been registered since 2011, offers tourists from all over the world affordable accommodation in the heart of Tbilisi. Guranda worked in the United States for many years and therefore speaks fluent English. She also speaks Russian, which is a big plus compared to her competitors. Guranda markets the comfortably furnished rooms primarily via online booking platforms. Due to the very central location, she also benefits from walk-in customers. In addition to overnight stays, the guest house offers breakfast, à la carte meals, a laundry service and airport transfers.

As a passionate motorcyclist, Guranda's husband also offers visitors tailor-made motorcycle tours across Georgia during the summer months. On request, he also organizes challenging off-road tours for his guests. For customers who prefer a more leisurely pace, Gurandas Mann chauffeurs them in his own minibus to the country's natural and cultural beauties.

At the moment, Guranda does the day-to-day work together with her husband and mother. However, she can well imagine taking on another employee in the future during the peak season.
