The highest number of international visitors, 221.8 thousand, belongs to the age group of
31-50 years, which is 46% of the total number of visitors, the group of 15-30 year olds
includes 23.8% of visitors, and the smallest number of visitors over 71 years old. As of
2018, it amounted to 8.9 thousand. This represents only 1.9% of the total number of
visitors. It can be said that the age structure of the visitors in dynamics has not changed
and only minor differences between the indicators are observed according to the years.

It seems that 94.6% of tourists from Azerbaijan visited Georgia again and only 5.4%
visited the country for the first time, which indicates that Georgia is attractive for the
residents of Azerbaijan.
