Petra Group’s Presentation in Dubai and Georgia on the Global Investment Map

Georgia is increasingly positioning itself as a regional investment and tourism hub.
In this context, the private sector plays a crucial role in introducing the country’s potential to the international audience. A prime example of this is the Petra Group presentation held in Dubai — one of the world’s most influential global business centers.

On January 14, 2026, at the prestigious Bvlgari Yacht Club in Dubai, Petra Group presented a new vision for Georgia’s tourism and investment development to international investors and industry leaders. The event was attended by major global investors and leading real estate experts, once again highlighting the growing international interest in Georgia’s property market.
The presentation spotlighted two unprecedented large-scale projects — Petra Sea Resort in Tsikhisdziri and Petra Ski Resort in Gudauri — which together establish a new 5-star lifestyle standard stretching from the Black Sea coast to the peaks of the Caucasus Mountains.

A notable aspect of the event was the participation of Petra Group’s international partners, including Accor, Valor Hospitality, and other global brands. These collaborations not only reflect the company’s commitment to excellence but also reinforce its credibility and global positioning.

The Dubai presentation became a strategic platform for Petra Group, supporting its transformation from a regional player into an international brand. On this topic, Tina Kalandarishvili, CEO of Petra Group, shared further insights:

M: The Dubai event targeted a high-level audience. What does this presentation mean strategically for Petra Group, and why was Dubai the right platform to showcase Georgia’s investment potential?

Dubai is the world’s business hub, and presenting our company here means stepping beyond local borders and positioning Petra Group as a global player. A high-profile audience provides access to major capital, essential for the development of large-scale resorts and mixed-use complexes. Moreover, this was our statement that we meet international standards in quality, architecture, and management.
Dubai gathers investors from all over the world, making it an ideal platform to present Georgia’s investment potential directly to the global market.

M: You mentioned the concept of a “5-star ecosystem” stretching from the Black Sea to the Caucasus Mountains. What does this vision represent, and how does it set Petra Group apart within Georgia’s tourism and development market?

Our goal is to create a seamless premium experience. When a client or investor chooses Petra Group, they are confident that both at the sea and in the mountains, they will receive the same 5-star service, infrastructure, and quality.
It’s a unified ecosystem — unlike fragmented developments commonly found on the market.

Each Petra Group project includes at least one internationally branded 5-star property. For example, Petra Ski Resort in Gudauri features Swissotel hotel and branded residences, while Petra Sea Resort in Tsikhisdziri includes a Pullman hotel and branded residences.

This “Sea to Mountain” concept creates a 365-day destination, significantly enhancing investment appeal. We’re not just selling square meters — we’re creating a lifestyle.

M: What is the key value of Petra Sea Resort and Petra Ski Resort for investors and for the development of Georgian tourism?

For investors, these projects offer diversification — combining seaside and ski tourism within one portfolio. Both locations are strategically positioned and demonstrate high ROI potential.
For Georgia’s tourism, they activate all four seasons, reduce seasonality, and attract the premium travel segment — directly contributing to economic growth.

M: How important are international partnerships in strengthening the company’s credibility and global positioning?

International partnerships serve as a seal of quality. Collaborating with world-renowned brands such as Accor — Europe’s #1 hotel operator (now represented by Pullman and Swissotel in our portfolio) — and Valor Hospitality signals to investors that our projects meet the highest global standards.
Moreover, these partnerships give us access to global networks, booking systems, and loyalty programs, making our destinations recognizable worldwide.

M: How will the agreements reached in Dubai influence Petra Group’s future projects?

The agreements form a solid financial foundation for new and even more ambitious developments. This means faster growth, larger scales, and more innovative, “smart” projects in the future.
The involvement of global operators automatically enhances both the international visibility of our properties and the overall competitiveness of Georgia as a destination.

M: In your view, what makes Georgia particularly attractive to international investors today, and how does Petra Group contribute to that appeal?

Georgia’s attractiveness stems from its liberal tax system, ease of doing business, and strategic geographic location. Combined with growing tourist flows and a stable, safe environment with strong property rights, these factors create a fertile ground for investment.

Petra Group’s international-standard approach adds further value by bridging global expertise and local potential.
Our mission is to create high-quality, large-scale developments that position Georgia as a premium business and tourism destination in the region.
On a global level, we aim for Petra Group to become a world-recognized brand, synonymous with innovation, trustworthiness, and the creation of top-tier ecosystems.
