Ms. Tamar Taliashvili informed the participants of the meeting about the Russian Federation's recent pressure on Georgia and asked them to join Georgians in the campaign #Spend Your Summer in Georgia.

As stated by Ms. Tamar Taliashvili, recently Russian President ordered a ban on passenger flights from Russia to Georgia. She also mentioned that the most tourists come to Georgia at this time of the year, so such radical change may negatively affect the country's economy.

“This is a big pressure on Georgian economy, but Georgian people decided to make more efforts to diversify the tourism market.” – said Ms. Taliashvili.

 Representatives from different countries participated in this campaign.
