In May 2007 Georgia is planning to open a Tourist Information Center in
Armenia, reports the head of the
Tourism and Resorts Department of Ajaria Temur Diasamidze.

Interpressnews reports Diasamidze to say that, unlike Azerbaijan, where the
Georgian authorities are conducting a large-scale advertising compaign to
popularize Ajaria, in Armenia the local companies do it themselves.

The Azerbaijan-based center was opened Apr 17.

Officially, some 65,000 tourists visited Ajaria last year – 45,000 of them
were Armenian citizens.

Diasamidze says that the Georgian authorities are actively working to
promote Georgia’s image as a tourist country. Georgia is the only post-Soviet
republic to have joined European Tourism Organization.
