Georgia proposes to supply Caspian liquefied gas to the European market via the alternative route – by building a terminal for exporting liquefied gas on the Black Sea coast. Compressed gas will be delivered from Georgia to the Romanian port of Constanta on tank vessels.
Kazakhstan regards this route as an option of delivery of liquefied gas to the world market.
Turkmenistan is also studying options for exporting liquefied gas through Azerbaijan and Georgia.
To participate in the project as a vendor, Turkmenistan could supply liquefied gas by the Caspian sea to Azerbaijan for its further transit through Georgia to Europe.

The King david the Builder Kutaisi (Kopitnari) International Airport is located in the Black Sea region of the South Caucasus. The Airport’s strategic geographic position and further improvement of the infrastructure allow for its transforming into the regional hub for providing transport services to travelers.

In the 1980s, the flights from this airport were carried out as inside the country (Tbilisi, Sokhumi, Batumi, Mestia), so outside country as well (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kiev). The Kopitnari Airport was opened after reconstruction in 2012. Its priorities are attraction to attract low-tariff airline companies and create a harmonic environment between the airline companies and airports. As of today, the flights from the Airport are carried out to Eastern Europe, Turkey and Russia.

The Airport has the capacity to carry out domestic flights for small tourist groups to: highland ski runs in Mestia; well-appointed Black Sea beaches in Batumi; wine tours in Telavi and so on. Proximity to the trunk railroad and motoring highway are the opportune occasions to form the Kopitnari Airport as a synergic transport system.

Besdies, the Airport’s proximity to the Rioni River can be used for organizing there the short tour of the so-called “Travel of Argonauts to Kolkheti”, which was passed by the well-known traveler Tim Severin by his oared boat named “Argo” in 1984, and the place where he finally dropped anchor was near the Kopitnari Airport.

Agro-tourism a type of tourism, when the aim of tourist is to live like a local, work with him in the fields, have his meal on the table together with him, i.e. to become part of his family for a certain time period. In order to provide branding of tourism as “a rural tourism” in Georgia, with the support from the Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation, the home page has been designed on the main web page of the Tourism Geo-Information Center (which is being in the process of constant updating), on which there will be placed the agro-tourism facilities of Georgia with the appropriate itinerary. Also, a single agro-tourism database will be set, which will be available on the Internet.

In view of the new realities created by signing the Association Agreement between Georgia and the European Union, Georgia for the first time was given the opportunity to be properly involved in the processes of global economic integration. This problem can be successfully resolved through safeguarding the Euro-Asian transport-communication space – “A New Silk Road”, and in the conditions of harmonizing the country’s geo-economic interests.

It should be noted that the first test train has passed already through the Georgian section of a new Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway line.
This section is what should become a component part of “A New Silk Road”. The construction of 180 kilometers of this railway line has been already completed, and now everything is being done for completing all works by the end of 2015. This railway line is considered as the most significant project in the South Caucasus region of the Euro-Asian transport corridor.

Relationships that are the subject of logistics in general, in principle have still not been resolved from a juridical standpoint. Even individual types of logistics do not have holistic, integrated legal regulation. However, even the legal regulation of the transport logistics is a fragmented set of norms regulating individual types of transportation, but not a transport logistics in general.

It is hard to imagine that in principle it is possible to develop a set of international legal standards, which would constitute a coherent legal system ensuring the functioning of macro-logistics systems, i.e. the so-called “the international logistics right" or "the right of international logistics systems”. International practice is on the way of the development of legal regulation of individual logistics operations, but not of the logistics in general.

Many of the logistics spheres are not regulated by international law even on that level. Moreover, a large number of logistics operations is not regulated, even at the level of national law. Management of the goods distribution process, from the legal point of view, is one of the most “non-image” fields of economic activities.

There are adopted many international agreements in the field of international goods distribution (especially in the field of transport and customs regulation). However, majority of these agreements have hardly representative character (many of them, which are adopted quite a long time ago, still await either entry into force, because they do not have the required number of ratifications).
International trade interests, the process of international division of labor, and the internationalization of economic life have created a special tool of legal regulation – "Lex mercatoria" (international commercial law).
