Georgia sees increase in tourist inflow

The number of tourists visiting Georgia has increased dramatically, the Iliauni Business Review and Forbs Georgia report.

Official data show that the number of tourists visiting Georgia in 2009-2011 has increased by about 100 percent, while the number of hotel beds has increased by 50 percent.

The average salary of hotel personnel has increased by 30-40 percent.

The so-called shopping tours also develop.

According to the study, the reason for increased number of visitors is a simplified visa regime with neighboring countries and with close partners. Entry of inexpensive airlines, which can ensure tourist transportation from Europe, into Georgia is also important.

The study took a month, and the August issue of the Forbs magazine will be dedicated to tourism development in Adjara.
