A new online platform aiming to support local tourist businesses in Tbilisi and help visitors find services has been launched by the Tbilisi City Hall to boost post-pandemic recovery.
Revealed this week, Find Out Tbilisi lists providers of tourism-related businesses, suggests notable spots of the city to visitors looking to spend days in the Georgian capital, and offers printable guidebooks to venues ranging from museums to wine destinations.
The initiative was given the green light after effects of the COVID-19 lockdown on small- and medium-sized businesses in Tbilisi demonstrated a necessity for more digital exposure and presence for them.
Designed in a collaboration between the city hall and Spark business accelerator, the platform was launched this week and has offered relevant entrepreneurs free listing opportunity on the website.
Some of the examples of information already uploaded to Find Out Tbilisi include itinerary suggestions for three- to five-day tours of the city, which list prominent locations ranging from the Tbilisi History Museum (also known as Karvasla) to the Leghvtakhevi waterfall site adjacent to the Tbilisi Botanical Garden.
Downloadable guidebooks offer themed information, from cinema venues and theatres, to street art locations, arts & crafts stores and art galleries. The guides come with attached maps listing many of the suggested locations.
Finally, a gallery of curated images on an associated Instagram account give prospective visitors a visual impression of what they could find in the city during their stay.
Project creators said the website would see regular additions of content and would further widen its scope following a reopening of international travel following the pandemic conditions.
They also hope to make full use of the status of Tbilisi's - alongside the Black Sea city of Batumi - among the safest European destinations to travel to this year, according to European Best Destinations, a travel website promoting tourism across the continent.
