  1. The international Condition, with key indicators such as war, crisis, and epidemiological conditions;
  2. The political environment of the country, with indicators such as the stability of the political system and external relations.

In addition, the paper identifies and evaluates — with well-reasoned arguments — the new and significant challenges facing Georgia and its tourism and hospitality service sector.
