We have a 6.4% decline in the number of visitors from Russia in July, with a 14% decrease in tourist arrivals, - Mariam Kvrivishvili, Head of the National Tourism Administration, said when summarizing the tourism statistics of the second quarter and July.

 

According to her, "despite the current situation, it seems that Russian tourists want to visit Georgia."

 

"In July, the number of international visitors increased by 4.5% and tourist arrivals increased by 1%. We expected that this month would have been a record high and the tourist visits would have increased by a two-figure number, but this could not be achieved for reasons beyond our control, and we tried to minimize the loss. Despite the decrease, we maintained the positive growth rate.

 

We saw in July that despite the current situation, Russian tourists are eager to visit Georgia. The tendency of Russian citizens entering Georgia via land transport has increased and they also use transit routes," Mariam Kvrivishvili said.
