Within the framework of gradual re-opening of economy and domestic tourism, the Georgian government permits holding of open air seminars, trainings as well as adventure activities such as rafting, kayaking, canoeing – marine, air and land adventure activities. Holding of open-air activities will be allowed in compliance with the recommendations of healthcare ministry.

The decision was made during the sitting of inter-agency Coordination Council headed by Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia held in video conference format.

In addition, along with the re-opening of domestic tourism and for efficient risk management, control will be continued over the compliance with the pre-defined rules and standards at hotels, restaurants and other food outlets.
