Companies, operating in the tourism sector declare that the industry will simply not be able to operate this year without the opening of the land border. According to them, the number of visitors coming from neighboring countries by land occupies a large share and now they face another danger to lose income from this business as well.

"We demand the opening of land borders because it is necessary for us. Most of the tourists who visited Georgia came mainly by land. And now this main door is locked. Why should we mind how the vaccinated person enters Georgia by plane, car, foot or on horseback? "said Erekle Kokaia, CEO of Inn Group.

According to the decision of the Government of Georgia, a citizen of any country, who submits a COVID-certificate can enter Georgia by air.

Moreover, as of the decision of the Government of Georgia, citizens from specific countries have the right to enter the country, if they present a negative PCR test within the last 72 hours, however, it should be noted that visitors must arrive by air.

In addition, according to the current rules, foreign citizens who enter Georgia by PCR test, they must conduct a PCR test afresh at their own expense on the 3rd day after crossing the border.
