Project description

Marine would like to renovate the family-owned wooden house in the Beshumi Mountain Resort in the near future and make it available to her guests for relaxing vacations in the mountains. She and her brother will be carrying out the conversion and renovation work themselves. In the coming season, 4 new apartments are also to be opened in the port city of Batumi on the Black Sea. Once these projects have been completed, Marine will be able to offer her guests a one-stop shop for stays in the heart of the capital, on the Black Sea and at 2,000 meters above sea level.

Marine is open, inquisitive and has a clear vision of how she wants to take the family business forward. She has already attended several BPN seminars (e.g. on business plans, marketing and time and conflict management). She would like to use BPN's personal coaching to position her vacation offers even better on the market.
