Locals in Kutaisi say that the number of tourists has decreased. According to the information posted on social networks, two facilities have been closed in the last two days: “Sapere” wine bar and the vintage hotel and restaurant “Black Tomato”.

As Vasil Kashia, manager at Story restaurant-  one of the most famous facilities on Tsereteli Street, told Commersant, that the flow of tourists is the lowest in the last two years. In recent days, the tables in the restaurant have been empty throughout the day.

"Although the flow of tourists has decreased, we have regular guests who are used to coming to us because they know that they will receive good quality and service." "Story" has been operating for two years, so I can say with confidence that the number of tourists has significantly declined compared with last year and the year before, although the regular visitors are still coming to our place.

Our restaurant is located on Tsereteli Street that is full of hotels and restaurants. I heard that several restaurants have closed, to be honest, we did not expect this.

During the winter period, tourists used to come in the afternoon, but now it is 4 o'clock and we do not have a single guest ," the restaurant manager stresses.
