The objective of the Regional Development Project for Georgia is to improve infrastructure services and institutional capacity to support the development of tourism-based economy and cultural heritage circuits in the Kakheti region. There are two components to the project, the first component being Infrastructure Investment. This component includes two subcomponents: 1) provision of financial resources to local-self governments (LSGs) to carry out Investment subprojects for the following activities: urban regeneration; and tourism circuit development; and 2) provision of financial resources to LSGs to carry out Investment Subprojects for public infrastructure to attract private sector investments in tourism and agro-processing. Finally, the second component is the institutional development. This component will enhance the institutional capacity and performance of the Georgia National Tourism Administration (GNTA), the Agency for Culture Heritage Preservation of Georgia (ACHP), the Project Implementing Entity (MDF), and other local and regional entities to carry out the following activities: destination management and promotion, including local outreach campaign; geo-tourism routes and tourism portal; skilled workforce development and capacity building; construction supervision and sustainable site management of cultural heritage; and performance monitoring and evaluation activities.
