Economic Sectors to Open after Tourism Industry
Adjara Region should act as a locomotive in today’s economic developments in Georgia, because the Georgian tourism industry comprises magnetic force with its ski resorts, winemaking culture, many other things, Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia noted when meeting with representatives of hotels and tourism companies in Batumi.
Adjara Region is a very attractive location, like Tbilisi. Certain tourism locations should be announced the virus-free zones, Giorgi Gakharia noted.
“This may be Sairme, Tskaltubo or Gudauri and Adjara. Hotels with due infrastructure is of crucial importance. We can think of Batumi, as a separate destination and set certain rules to announce certain zones free of COVID-19.
We understand very well that economic recovery process will start with tourism, agriculture, then development and construction will come, indeed, industry, then education, medicines and so on.
This signifies that this sequence is based on the average weighed indicator of two components – which sector was most damaged and how importance this or that sector is for our economy. Some persons were angry that we start with tourism and not with industry or agriculture sector.
Based on the average weighed indicator, tourism’s ratio in economy and the damage inflicted to tourism is very much. Agriculture and other sectors of economy come the next”, the Prime Minister noted.
