Foreigners began to spend more time in restaurants and hotels in Tbilisi -. TBC Capital Spending by foreign visitors in Tbilisi hotels increased by 24% and in restaurants by 21% in September 2026 compared to the same month last year. This is stated in a TBC Capital study based on data from non-cash payments by non-residents. At the same time, the average check in restaurants dropped from 85 to 71 lari. Therefore, the overall increase in expenses resulted from an increase in the number of transactions, and not from a single payment amount. In hotels in Tbilisi the situation is the opposite: the average payment increased from 646 to 719 lari. According to analysts, this may be explained by higher prices for accommodation or an increase in the length of stay.
