My organisation

The LEPL Resorts Development Agency (RDA), established in 2022 under the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia, plays a key role in resort development. Recognizing Georgia’s rich natural and cultural resources, the government prioritizes resort development to drive economic growth. RDA leads infrastructure development initiatives and policy coordination across wellness, mountain, thermal, lake, and sea resorts. Its goal is to enhance the international recognition of Georgia’s climatic and balneological resorts, as well as areas surrounding historical monuments. By creating competitive, four-season, and safe resorts, RDA aims to boost local and international tourism, benefiting businesses and the population.
