Tbilisi, December 24 (Xinhua) — Georgia prioritizes developing tourism and economic cooperation with China, viewing China as a key "long-distance" country. Georgian Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Mariam Kvrivishvili stated this Wednesday at the session "Trade, Investment, and Sustainable Development in the Context of Global Challenges" during the annual ambassadors' conference in Tbilisi.
According to the minister, the strategic partnership between Georgia and China has seen steady growth in tourism, trade, and cargo turnover. The Georgian side is actively working to increase the frequency of direct flights and expand the geography of flights to ensure greater access to the Chinese trade and tourism market.
M. Kvrivishvili emphasized that the tourism sector remains one of the main driving forces of the country's economy. Tourism revenues in the first three quarters of 2025 reached a record high, reaching $3.6 billion.
The minister noted that Georgian tourism is highly diversified. Along with the growing tourist flow from China, the number of travelers from Europe, Israel, the Persian Gulf states, and neighboring countries is also increasing, which, she said, confirms the balanced nature of Georgia's tourism market.
