One company can register for a maximum of two nominations that are most relevant to its field of activity. Each nominee is assessed in accordance with internationally recognized methodology based on worldwide standards. This year’s assessment will be carried out by online voting, and with a Professional Jury Board consisting of experts in both the international and local travel, culture and hospitality markets, who are separated according to categories depending on their main professional activity. For the sixth year in a row, BDO Georgia is considered to be the guarantor of the project's transparency and impartiality. The winners of the 2020 Welcome to Georgia! National Tourism Awards will be announced in a televised ceremony.
"We would like to thank the industry for the positive actions they have taken in the not-so-positive reality of the COVID-19 pandemic, given their resources.,” says Welcome to Georgia! project founder Maryna Chayka. “The second important purpose of the Award Ceremony is to support domestic tourism. We have added new nominations in this direction this year because we believe that in this way we can increase the self-confidence of the representatives of domestic tourism, which will affect the number of consumers in the future.”
