Georgia's tourism sector is thriving, and it's not just international travelers who are taking notice. In an exclusive interview, we had the chance to sit down with Mariam Kvrivishvili, the Deputy Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development, to uncover the inner workings of Georgia's tourism strategy and its significant impact.

Mariam Kvrivishvili shared that Georgia is strategically capitalizing on its natural beauty and diverse attractions to fuel its tourism industry. The government's unwavering commitment to this sector is producing impressive results. In 2019, Georgia welcomed 9.3 million international travelers, pocketing a substantial $3.3 billion in revenue. This year is on track to set new records in tourism.

To maintain this upward trajectory, Georgia is directing investments into tourism infrastructure, refining its offerings, and enhancing its global visibility. A key advantage Georgia boasts is its year-round appeal, drawing visitors for skiing, beach vacations, cultural immersions, and wine-tasting experiences.

The bustling Kutaisi Airport, which saw nearly a million passengers pass through by September, serves as a symbol of Georgia's tourism boom. Next year, it's set to triple this number, showcasing Georgia's dedication to broadening its reach and tapping into new markets.

Georgia's tourism-centered approach is propelling it to the global stage, making it a compelling choice for travelers from around the world.
