According to 2019 data, 37.9% of visitors visited Tbilisi, 21% Adjara, 13.2%
Mtskheta-Mtianeti, 11.7% Kvemo Kartli, 11.8% Kakheti, 4.5%, etc.

As studies represent, women are traditionally more interested in visiting Georgia
than men. The share of women in visitors starting in 2015 ranges from 60.8% to
65.4%. If we extend this trend to the geographical structure of visitors, then it will
turn out that Georgia is more attractive for Azerbaijani women as well.

the population of the tourists. For example, it turned out that 58,66% of Azerbaijani
visitors to the study were in Tbilisi. Most of the visitors to Bakuriani - 31% - were from
Russia, 27% - visitors from Azerbaijan; 30% of visitors to Batumi were Azerbaijanis,
