Davitashvili: 400 Flights a Week During Tourist Season is a Record High

During the tourism season, more than 400 flights a week will be operated in Georgia, according to Georgia's Minister of Economy.

According to Davitashvili, compared to 2019, tourist flows have been restored by 50%.

"We attracted different airlines and managed to more or less compensate for the loss of the existing tourist markets. There will be additional flights from the Gulf countries. We are now entering the active tourist season and in 2019, we have managed to restore more than 50% of tourist flows. This is about 70% of the amount. This is what we were planning at the beginning of the year.

There will be more than 400 flights a week in different directions during the tourist season in Georgia. This is a peak because we have not had so many flights before. We think we will be able to attract additional tourist flows," the minister said.

According to him, many companies are locating their services or regional service offices in Georgia, which will be an additional income for the country.

"Many professionals came to Georgia - these are mainly IT and other legal services companies. The Ministry of Finance had the initiative to work with such companies. We have a working group of the agency "Produce in Georgia ", which works with companies to ensure proper comfort and comfort in entering Georgia. With the entry of several thousand new professionals, we will receive additional alternative income. By doing so, we will compensate for potential estimated currency losses and maintain high economic growth and exchange rate stability," the minister said.
