Tbilisi Wins 2018 Experts’ Choice Award for Best Emerging Destination

Tbilisi has earned its place at the top of this year’s Experts’ Choice ‘Best Emerging Destination’ award.

The decision was made based on recommendations from leading travel media companies, and also takes into account the cities placement in the “best of 2018” lists, including the amount and quality of hotels, restaurants and attraction reviews.

Experts from National Geographic, The Guardian and Rough Guides all concur that it is time the world takes notice of Georgia’s capital.

The announcement article says “the city, which has been influenced by countless cultures and been part of many empires, remains intrinsically itself while striving to embrace change.”

The emerging art scene in the city is also mentioned in the article, saying “a burgeoning arts scene is breathing new life into Old Tbilisi. Project ArtBeat, a gallery whose focus is on emerging and mid-career artists from Georgia and around the world, established a permanent presence in the neighborhood of narrow streets and buildings known for their shambolic charm.”

Many other aspects of the city are mentioned, such as the nightlife, bars and food.

So, it looks like Georgia’s ever-growing tourism numbers will see a further boom in the near future.
