Russian tour operators explore Georgia’s tourism potential

The Georgian National Tourism Administration is continuing to raise awareness of Georgia and its beautiful scenery to increase the flow of tourists to the country.

More than 20 representatives from leading Russian tourism agencies visited Georgia to learn more about the diversity of the country and explore its hidden gems.

For one week the guests discovered Georgia’s capital Tbilisi and its historic districts.

The Russian guests also visited Georgia’s wine-making Kakheti region, where they explored Sighnaghi, Kvareli and Tsinandali.

Georgia's historic city of Mtskheta was another destination that hosted the Russian guests.

The group also travelled to Georgia’s mountain areas Gudauri, Kazbegi, Borjomi and Bakuriani.

Yesterday Russian and Georgian tourism industry representatives met each other and planned a range of touristic packages.

Russia is one of Georgia’s target tourism areas. Russian guests loved travelling to Georgia and this could be proven by statistics. In 2015 more than 925,000 Russians visited Georgia; a 14 percent increase on 2014.
