Saba Kiknadze, the founder of the tourism company "Caucasus Travel", states that the resumption of direct flights from Russia to Georgia will increase access to Georgia from Russia.
"Now Russian citizens can arrive directly in Georgia in two and a half hours. It is absurd to say that this will not increase their inflow. The restoration of direct flights will undoubtedly increase access to Georgia from the Russian side.
This will have a negative impact on tourism, and I am sure that tired villains will come to Georgia for vacation. It doesn't mean anything good when you put fertilizer on weeds, that doesn't give us anything.
The number of tourists coming from Russia will increase and occupy a large place in our tourism. what do we prefer - USD 100 received from a normal tourist, or the same amount of money received from an invader? However, these people do not pay as much money as tourists from other countries, they always want everything for free. The Russian market has never brought high standards and income to Georgia," says Saba Kiknadze.
