WHY VISIT GEORGIA?
Considered one of the last European wilderness where you can roam freely, Georgia is a beautiful country shaped by rugged mountains, rivers, valleys and meadows. It lies in the middle of the Caucasus region and has unspoilt natural beauty to complement its unique culture. It is the perfect place for hiking, trekking, and exploring at a leisurely pace.
Quaint villages and towns still dot the countryside while modern cities like Tbilisi, Batumi, and Borjomi are charming and photogenic. Tbilisi, the capital, even has quite a bit of nightlife.
You can enjoy authentic experiences, be it the local cuisine or interacting with the locals. History lovers can check out the Narikala Fortress, Uplistsikhe and Gergeti Trinity Church, while adventure seekers can go hiking, horse-riding, paragliding, caving, rafting, hunting, or a myriad of other outdoor activities.
Georgians are hospitable to a fault and will often pick up the tab despite not being economically well-off.
Georgia is an emerging capitalist country. For investors, it will be a pleasant surprise to know that Transparency International has rated Georgia as the least corrupt country in the Black Sea region, beating all of its nearby European Union neighbours. Since 2014, it is part of the European Union’s Free Trade Zone. The country is also a member of the Council of Europe, Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, as well as Eurocontrol.
