the Prime Minister of Georgia Giorgi Gakharia held on Thursday a meeting of the Cabinet, which declared that the country is preparing by the middle of summer again to accept foreign tourists. As reports Sputnik-Georgia, the government has developed a recovery plan for the industry.
In the first phase, from June 15, will begin to revive domestic tourism the infrastructure, but from July 1, Tbilisi will open the land and air borders. As the Prime Minister said, we are talking about the creation of “safe corridors” with its neighbors as well as with other “interesting for tourism countries.” We will remind that travellers from Russia now can not directly fly to Georgia: last direct flights between the two countries was discontinued for an indefinite period on 8 July 2019.
According to RIA Novosti, Georgia have so far managed to contain the epidemic: there is identified 615 cases of coronavirus, 275 patients recovered, 9 died. All quarantined and are under observation for almost five and a half thousand people.
As he wrote, “RG”, about the prospects for the summer tourist season has already started talking of many European countries. In particular, this idea is actively promoting the Chancellor of Austria Sebastian Kurz, who is counting on the arrival of guests from neighbouring Germany and the Czech Republic, hoping to negotiate with the governments of those countries. In Berlin relate to the initiative with great caution, because the Austrian ski resort of Ischgl in Tyrol has become one of the main hotbeds of “crown” in German border regions.
