Over 8 million international visitors will arrive in Georgia in 2018, believes Georgia’s Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili.
While summing up the results of 2017 at the newly opened Moxy Hotel in Tbilisi, the PM stated that tourism has become an important locomotive of the country's economy.
Last year Georgia hosted 7,554,936 international visitors and received $2.7 billion in tourism, showed statistics.
Kvirikashvili stated it is important to further develop tourism infrastructure in Georgia. Speaking on the importance of proper infrastructure, the PM accented the spatial arrangement plan which is one of the components of the government’s four-point reform plan.
Developing modern infrastructure in all interesting areas for tourists is one of the most important tasks, which is also important for developing the tourism field in general. We are building highways, developing winter infrastructure and improving services for exactly that reason. The government will continue its efforts in the future and I am sure the positive tendency of tourism growth will be maintained”, Kvirikashvili said.
