“When we say that domestic tourism should be developed, it means that the issue of roads and transport must be regulated, "said Tatia Tetrashvili, founder of the hotel" Bude "in Svaneti.
According to Tetrashvili, logistics is one of the main problem for tourists in Svaneti. She notes, that there is no public transport in Svaneti and private transportation increases costs.
"One of the important problems is transportation. It is always difficult for them to come to Svaneti for vacation, who do not have a car. When we talk to develop domestic tourism, at least the road and transportation should be regulated. Everything is more expensive because you cannot move from Mestia to other directions by municipal transport, which can be cheaper,” said Tatia Tetrashvili.
