In Georgia, the state is investing heavily in tourism, especially in the Caucasus Mountains. The goal is to make the region even more attractive for winter sports enthusiasts. Doppelmayr is making a significant contribution to the development of winter tourism with the construction of several installations. 2015 saw two new 6-seater chairlifts go into service, both of which have been a great success. These were followed by a surface lift, a fixed grip quad chairlift and a detachable 6-seater chairlift in the Bakuriani ski area as well as a detachable 6-seater chairlift in Gudauri in 2016.
