We will be able to create a new tourist location on the sea and this of course will create new economic opportunities and jobs... we have already agreed with an investment group... This year we will start in-depth research. We will invite international architects, designers, constructors and as soon as the economic viability is approved, the construction will start", Rizhvadze said.
