THE IMPORTANCE OF GEORGIAS RESORT AND RECREATIONAL RESOURCES - CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS OF GREEN TOURISM

Summary

Georgia is country rich in mountain and plain resorts with healing properties. The abundance of resorts is not accidental. It is determined by the climatic conditions of the country and more than 2000 healing waters found in the territory. Mineral waters are the most effective in treating various diseases. Resort factors, which are used for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes, are closely interconnected and have a complex effect on the human body. Part of Georgia's resorts are abandoned and unused. However, the Department of Resorts has currently begun to study a significant part of the resorts. Most of the resort and recreational resources belong to microclimatic, mixed-function and balneological type resorts. Despite the country's balneological resources and the beneficial properties of the resorts, resort green tourism is still in the process of development. We have studied resort tourism values ​​in the Shida Kartli region. The study area includes the region where the effective use of existing resort and recreational values, material and technical improvement of resort potential, development of recreational and tourist products, sharing international experience and attracting the holidaymaker market will contribute to the development of the local economy and sustainable development of the environment.
