International Scientific-Practical Conference “Natural Resources of georgia and Prospects of Sustainable Development of Productive Forces” dedicated to the 100th Anniversary of the GTU and the 90th Anniversary of Academician I.ZhordaniaTbilisi, Georgia202117/11/2021I.Zhordania Center Studying Productive Forces and Natural Resources of Georgia of Georgian Technical UniversityProspects of rural tourism development in Georgiaoral

The conference paper analyzes prospects of the development of small tourism business in Georgia, in particular in rural settlements – sp-called "rural tourism" (agritourism, farming tourism) which is a fast emerging sector of small entrepreneurship.

Capabilities and conditions fro the development of rural tourism are examined for different regions of Georgia. As it is noted, there are distinguishing characteristics in each region (natural environment, economic level, traditions of economic management, rules for family farm arrangement, rituals and customs, etc.) which differ regions from each other.

Careful consideration is given to the objects which are of interest for agritourists in rural settlements in Georgian regions: Kakheti, mountainous area of Georgia (Svaneti, Racha-Lechkhumi, Mtskheta-Mtianeti), Achara, Guria, Samegrelo, Imereti, Shida and Kvemo Kartli, as well as to the issues of readiness for their acceptance.

It is emphasized in the conference paper that the development of rural tourism in the country will promote economic growth in the regions, ensure employment of local people, improve their well-being, and, what is most crucially for mountainous regions, solve pressing demographic problems (depopulation of village, ageing of population, young people's migration to urban areas, etc.).

The conference paper analyzes potential of Georgian recreational resources in the process of rehabilitation for people who had COVID-19.

Under the conditions of pandemic, an increasing number of people who had COVID-19, experience various complications and cannot return to their normal lives. Up to 50 percent those recovering from COVID-19 have health problems of different kinds the whole set of which has been integrated into a "Post-COVID-19" syndrome (or "Long COVID") to become a subject of research for medical professionals and scientists in different countries. At present, there are no elaborated recommendations on diagnostics and treatment of post-COVID-19 syndrome in any country, and the physicians recommend to people with such a syndrome to follow the common principles of rehabilitation after severe diseases. It is evident that the stay at the health-resorts of applicable profiles with the use of natural recreational factors and health-improving procedures will hasten and optimize the process of rehabilitation. The authors show a great potential of Georgian natural-recreational resources for the rehabilitation of post-COVID patients. The conference paper contains information concerning rehabilitative opportunities of famous Georgian health-resorts taking into account their specific features as well as pathologies common to the post-COVID patients.
