Georgia’s tourist potential, cuisine, wine to be promoted in Balkan countries

The Georgian Tourism Administration on Friday said journalists from Serbia’s popular TV shows were visiting the country to be introduced to its cuisine, winemaking traditions and tourist potential before presenting their reports to audiences in Balkan states.

They are being hosted for a tour of the capital city of Tbilisi and other regions of the country, with a boat ride on Paliastomi Lake in the west and zipline descent on the Dashbash Canyon in central Georgia included in their adventures.

Wherever I travel, I always talk about Georgia, Georgian cuisine, wine and Georgian people, and I tell everyone, including my friends, to visit Georgia. We are preparing a programme about cooking and travel, and we hope that even more tourists from the Balkan countries will travel to Georgia”, Marko Milicevic, one of the visiting journalists, said in comments.

Gorica Regodić, an actor from Serbia, noted the legacy of peaceful coexistence of communities representing different cultures in Tbilisi as “very impressive”.

“It is a very peaceful environment, and there are very friendly people. There is a lot of green space, and you have amazing nature - this is my first impression and I like it very much”, she said.
