Space Travel Announces Georgia Tour Packages for Russian Citizens with Direct Flights
Travel operator Space Travel has unveiled its inaugural sale of package tours to Georgia, featuring direct flights for travelers from the Russian Federation. The rollout was confirmed by the press service of the Union of Tour Operators of Russia (ATTOR), signaling a new option for those seeking a seamless travel experience between Russia and Georgia. The announcement highlights that regular flights are now available as part of the tour offering, expanding the range of affordable travel choices for Russian tourists interested in exploring Georgia’s historic cities, landscapes, and cultural heritage.
The publication notes that the most economical option currently available from Space Travel prices at 103,000 rubles per person. This package covers a round-trip flight coupled with a four-day itinerary that traces the route from Tbilisi to Mtskheta, Bodbe, Sighnaghi, and back to Tbilisi. The proposed journey emphasizes a balanced mix of ancient architectural marvels, wine country experiences, and scenic hilltop towns, designed to give travelers a compact yet immersive glimpse of Georgia’s diverse regions.
In addition to the standard package, Space Travel has introduced author’s tour programs. These distinctive itineraries are crafted to showcase specific themes or experiences and are priced on an individual basis according to the preferences and requirements of each traveler. This approach allows guests to tailor elements such as accommodation levels, guided excursions, and exclusive activities while still benefiting from Space Travel’s coordination and support throughout the trip.
Meanwhile, the broader aviation landscape around Georgia is evolving. In May, the Russian airline Azimuth announced plans to launch direct flights to Georgia, expanding options for travelers seeking faster connections and more convenient schedules. This development aligns with the region’s growing appeal as a short-haul destination for both leisure and cultural exploration, offering a gateway to Georgia’s vibrant cities, prehistoric sites, and renowned hospitality culture.
Efforts to reestablish travel between the two countries have progressed in recent months. Russian President Vladimir Putin lifted the longstanding flight ban on Russian airlines to Georgia, which had been in effect since June 2019, on May 10. Alongside the flight resumption, the visa-free regime was reinstated for Georgian citizens visiting Russia, signaling a broader normalization of cross-border travel and reciprocal engagement in tourism, business, and cultural exchange. As travelers consider their options, Georgia’s accessibility via direct routes and flexible tour programs positions it as a compelling choice for those seeking a varied and enriching travel experience in the Caucasus region.
