WHERE Launched at Dinehall, Praised by Tourism Administration Head
Tuesday June 21 saw the official launch of the monthly tourist magazine, WHERE, designed and produced by the Georgia Today Group.
The magazine targets incoming tourists of all social levels and means, providing them with an insightful and entertaining guide to the best places to Go, Stay, Eat, Drink, and Buy throughout Georgia.
Each section is introduced by a celebrity or business person who knows Georgia well enough to suggest their personal favourite hotspots.
Our team of experienced foreign and Georgian-born journalists then offers its own best sights, hotels and guest houses, restaurants and cafes, bars, and stores- with an often amusing narrative coming from the experience of having lived and travelled here for many years.
The magazine is free and can be found in most hotels, restaurants and souvenir shops. In the Old Town souvenir shops you can also buy 130 GEL worth of WHERE discount vouchers for JUST 10 GEL- giving you the chance to get reduced prices on souvenirs, tours, fine dining, spa treatments and more.
Head of the Georgian National Tourism Administration (GNTA), George Chogovadze, was present at the launch, held in the richly designed Dinehall on Rustaveli Avenue. “Where.ge will help tourists visiting Georgia to get to know Tbilisi and Georgia as a whole. It will be the prerequisite for them to leave our country with better impressions,” he said.
The new monthly WHERE tourist magazine echoes the mission of the GNTA to ‘showcase Georgia as an undiscovered unique travel destination to the world, encourage to explore once and inspire to come back.’
George Sharashidze, WHERE publisher, said at the launch, “I would like to thank the team of WHERE, qualified journalists and media professionals led by the editor-in-chief, Katie Davies, for the tremendous work done. Finally, after six month’s of preparation, WHERE is out and available for all travelers, sharing the best ideas about where to go, stay, eat, drink and buy. Special thanks to our partner business companies for their belief in the WHERE management and editorial team’s capabilities of bringing the best ever product to the market. I hope that we have met their expectation in the first issue. However, our ambition to deliver the most comprehensive information about Georgia’s tourist potential has a longer-term strategy and we fully understand that more work should be done to increase the quality from issue to issue. I would like to wish an enjoyable stay in Georgia to all tourists and remind them to pick up a copy of WHERE – essential guide to Georgia!”
The team behind WHERE magazine hopes to inspire many generations to learn more about Georgia and enjoy their stay here in such a way that they’ll want to come back for more!
