The Republic of Georgia continues to cement its position as an emerging investment destination in real estate and tourism following the conclusion of the Georgia International Real Estate Forum 2026 in Tbilisi from February 6 to 8. The event was attended by Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze, alongside government officials, international investors, and real estate development companies.
The forum, supported by the government and business associations and held in partnership with several real estate developers, showcased investment opportunities across residential, commercial, hospitality, and infrastructure projects.
Discussions emphasized regulatory transparency and the strengthening of investment partnerships, particularly amid growing interest from investors in Gulf and Middle Eastern countries.
Georgia benefits from an investor-friendly legislative framework, a competitive tax system, and free trade agreements with the European Union, China, member states of the Commonwealth of Independent States, and the United Arab Emirates—providing access to a market of nearly 2.3 billion people.
Official data also revealed that the economy grew by 9.2% annually over the past four years, while the tourism sector expanded by 23.9% annually over six years. Meanwhile, foreign direct investment reached $533.2 million in the third quarter of 2025.
