"Bidzina Ivanishvili’s Philanthropic Activities Stand Out for Georgia – “Paragraph Tabori” Aims to Give New Impetus to Urban, Regional, and National Development

Bidzina Ivanishvili’s philanthropic activities are distinguished by their significance for our country. “Paragraph Tabori” is focused on giving new impetus to the development of the respective city, region, and the country as a whole",-  Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Kobakhidze stated during his speech at the opening ceremony of the Paragraph Tabori hotel.

“I would like to express my gratitude to the initiator of this project, Mr. Bidzina Ivanishvili, who is the driving force behind this idea. This project is another manifestation and expression of his philanthropic work. Every similar project is distinguished by the fact that it is not aimed at financial profit but rather at giving new momentum to the development of the respective city, region, and the entire country. This is exactly what makes Paragraph Tabori unique.
This complex, which is part of Marriott’s world-class Autograph Collection, establishes Tbilisi as a European-level, premium tourist and business destination,” – said the Prime Minister.

Paragraph Tabori represents an impressive synthesis of modern architecture and urban planning. Featuring Tbilisi’s first world-class golf club, an outstanding spa complex, and an innovative cable car connecting the hotel with the city center — Freedom Square — the project stands out as a unique development for the entire region.

According to Irakli Kobakhidze, the total investment in the hotel, golf course, and cable car exceeds 500 million GEL, representing a direct and long-term investment in the economic future of the capital and Georgia in general.

“This investment primarily means hundreds of new, well-paid jobs for our citizens. It is important to note that Paragraph Tabori is not a one-off project. It is part of the hotel network created by the Georgian Tourism Development Fund, which already operates in Tbilisi and Sighnaghi and will soon expand to Abastumani.
Once again, I want to thank Mr. Bidzina Ivanishvili and everyone who participated in bringing this initiative to life. I also extend my gratitude to the Tourism Development Fund, each architect, engineer, and construction worker who contributed to the realization of this ambitious idea,” – the Prime Minister stated.

“Paragraph Tabori will add new charm and energy to our capital and set an exemplary model for the city’s modern development,” – Irakli Kobakhidze concluded.

The Paragraph Tabori hotel was officially opened by the Prime Minister of Georgia, together with the Speaker of Parliament Shalva Papuashvili, Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze, Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Mariam Kvrivishvili, Executive Director of the Tourism Development Fund Giorgi Baidarashvili, CEO of the Co-Investment Fund Davit Galuashvili, and CEO of the hotel management company Giorgi Togonidze.

The event was also attended by Marriott’s Regional Director Shener Soyule, as well as representatives of Marriott and the business sector.
