Giorgi Kushashvili, the founder of Wooden Cottages "Hillside Kazbegi" declares, that they plan to add a catering facility and arrange entertainment spaces late this year.
According to him, at this stage "Hillside Kazbegi" includes 3 cottages and can host 15 people in total. As for the price of accommodation, it starts from GEL 200 on average, which is determined by the season and the number of people.
"We want the customers who come to us to find all the services on the spot and not to go out for food. Therefore, we are going to develop and build a restaurant, as well as arrange entertainment spaces, in which about GEL 80,000 should be invested.
The cottages are about 80% occupied. During this year, the most active periods were July, August and September. Most of our customers are tourists, namely from Saudi Arabia and Asian countries," Kushashvili says.
According to him, snow is an important challenge for the region, since it is an avalanche-prone area, and because of this, roads are blocked. As a result of the blocked roads, bookings are canceled and therefore the operation of the cottage becomes difficult.
"Hillside Kazbegi" has been operating in Stepantsminda for 1 year.
