The city has been controlled by Abkhazia since the Abkhazian war of 1992 to 1993, and today has an airport, is a port and major rail junction, and serves as a holiday resort for its beaches, sanatoriums, mineral-water spas and semitropical climate; it is also a member of the International Black Sea Club.
