What happened
The Georgian government put ten crumbling Soviet-era sanatoriums in Tskaltubo on the market on October 20, with an online auction set to close on November 15. The most prominent property is the Medea sanatorium, which Tbilisi is asking for an equivalent of $3.3 million. The buyer must commit an additional $24 million for a five-year renovation plan.

Why it matters
The sale requires substantial private investment to restore the properties and bring them up to modern standards. Experts note that restoring individual sanatoriums may not be sufficient to attract visitors without wider infrastructure improvements in the town.
