Safety and Security in Georgia

Participant safety and well-being are our top priorities, and Georgia remains a very safe and welcoming destination for international visitors.

• Geopolitical Stability: While the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia has led to an influx of regional travelers and emigrants into Georgia, the country remains secure, stable, and peaceful.

• Low Crime Rates: Violent crime in Georgia is extremely rare. Statistically, crime rates in Georgia compare very favorably to major North American and European cities. Most minor incidents involve occasional petty theft, which can be easily avoided by practicing standard, everyday common sense.

• Public Demonstrations: Political activity and anti-government protests do occur periodically, primarily localized around government buildings in central Tbilisi. These events are easy to avoid, and staying clear of demonstration venues ensures a safe experience.

• Minimal Terrorism Risk: Georgia maintains a very low terrorism risk according to international indices, including the Global Terrorism Index.

• Border & Transit Security: Georgia actively manages and controls all transit across its international borders.
