The number of outbound visits by Georgian residents to Russia exceeded the pre-pandemic figure by 49%, - according to the PMC Research Centre.

As of the document, in 2022, the number of outbound visits made by Georgian residents tripled compared to 2021 and reached 1.7 million, equating to 71% of the pre-pandemic figure.

The top destination countries in 2022 for outbound visitors from Georgia were largely similar to those before the pandemic broke out, with an exceptional difference in the case of Azerbaijan, which accounted for only 1% of outbound visits from Georgia, compared to 23% in 2019. This could be entirely explained by the strict land border measures maintained by Azerbiajn. In 2022, a significant proportion of the outbound visitors chose Turkey (54%), as their destination, followed by Russia (14%), the Eu (11%) and Armenia (7%).

Among destination countries, outbound visits to Turkey recovered to 89% of the 2019 total, while for Russia it exceeded the pre-pandemic total significantly (by 49%).
