I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. #Georgia ???????? is a stunningly beautiful country with amazing hospitality. A must visit if you haven’t been here. A place to return to if you have.

Lithuania is one of the first countries that has joined the new campaign supporting the tourism industry of Georgia by calling on more of their citizens to visit the country.
Former president of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko has also urged citizens of his country to travel to Georgian resorts.
On the other hand Georgians invite travellers from all over the world to come to their country and "experience best wine, tastiest food and unforgettable hospitality provided by some of the warmest hearted people in the world".
Under the hashtag #VisitGeorgia #SpendYourSummerinGeorgia the campaign has gone viral in online media.
A group Spend Your Summer in Georgia was even created on Facebook, where foreign visitors post photos of their former vacations in Georgia and promise to come back to the country again this summer.
