Interestingly only 6.5% of them had entered Georgia via a tour operator. 47% stayed with friends or neighbours, 49% in hotels, the average stay in Georgia being around 10 nights.
On average the visitors spent approximately 1,500 USD here, making a daily expenditure of 337 USD.

The main problems they faced, which are critical, are the low level of services and problems in communication.
