Forbes: rising stars in travel – these 7 countries have potential to become major tourist destinations in a post-Covid world

Forbes has named Georgia among seven countries which have the potential to become major tourist destinations in a post-covid world.

In his article, journalist Jared Ranahan writes that the global tourism industry is struggling in the midst of unprecedented downturn, though some countries have their first opportunity to establish themselves ‘as a prominent regional force for tourism’.

While the following countries have yet to become world-class destinations, the ingredients are all there – pristine natural beauty, historic ruins, and fascinating cultural experiences can be encountered in abundance across all seven of these highly underrated nations.

Jared Ranahan listed Georgia as a ‘major tourist destination’ among Ethiopia, Iran, Myanmar, Philippines, Slovenia and Tunisia.

Begin your journey in the nation’s capital, Tbilisi – this charming city is home to a cobblestone-laden Old Town packed with ancient churches and restaurants lining the Mtkvari River. While urban Georgia is spectacular, don’t miss out on the country’s natural beauty – the rolling pastures and idyllic small towns to the west are a must-see, and be sure to sample your fair share of wine while exploring”, writes Ranahan.
