Armenians and Turks are among the tourists visiting Ajaria since
early June this year. Over 215 thousand tourists came to the region
during the summer season, Chair of Tourism Ministry Temur Diasamidze
said. He pointed out that tourist inflow will reach 400 thousand by
late September. Hotels are 95 percent occupied, and bungalows are
overcrowded in Ajaria where units are let on lease at 7 lari (about
U.S. $3.5). "If compared to early 2009, the tourist inflow is beyond
expectation," Diasamidze declared, GHN reports.
