Abstract

When promoting ecotourism and wine tourism, it is necessary to take into account the ecological impact of increased tourist activity on the environment. Careful management of visitors to ecotourism areas is essential to prevent wildlife degradation. There is also a need to manage waste responsibly, use renewable energy and minimize transport emissions.

Promotion of ecotourism and wine tourism in Georgia should be based on both medical and ecological considerations. Ecotourism offers both physical and mental health benefits. And wine tourism—when practiced responsibly - provides overall health benefits.

In order to preserve various forms of tourism, it is necessary to raise environmental awareness to ensure that Georgia's natural and cultural treasures are preserved intact for future generations.
