First of all, it is about getting more income from tourism, creating even more tourist locations, and creating new infrastructure. At the same time, as you know, Georgia is the host of the two biggest events of the world scale next year - ITB Berlin and the World Championship in freestyle skiing and snowboarding to be held in Bakuriani. We will do everything so that after these events, Georgia will become the host of many large and similar scale events in the coming years," said Maya Omiadze.
