Georgia

Part of the map here is disputed (Abkhazia, South Ossetia). Globestamp takes no side: when a photo was taken in a disputed place, you decide which country it counts for.
The Georgia stamp
Every country in Globestamp has its own stamp, drawn after a real entry stamp. Its finish shows how few travelers get there. Georgia’s is Foil: a hot-stamped foil block in the ink’s own colour, the finish for places with 6 to 15 million visitors a year. With 7.7 million international arrivals in 2019, Georgia is more visited than 73% of the 199 places with figures. See every stamp on the stamp wall, or the rarest on the least-visited countries.
What counts as a visit to Georgia
The common rule among travelers is that you set foot there: an airport layover usually doesn’t count, and a port where you went ashore does. Globestamp counts Georgia when one of your photos was taken on its ground, or just off its coast; a photo taken from a plane never counts. Photos only at an airport make a transit stamp in lighter ink, counted only if you count layovers. Read more in how to count the countries you’ve visited.
Places in Georgia you can collect
Under the country itself, Globestamp keeps layers of places on your globe, and a photo taken at one ticks it. These are the ones it knows in Georgia, from 4 World Heritage Sites to 3 volcanoes.

Questions people ask
Is Georgia a country?

How many tourists visit Georgia a year?
UN Tourism (via the World Bank) counted 7,726,000 international arrivals in Georgia in 2019, the 54th most of the 199 places with figures. Countries count arrivals in different ways (some include day-trippers and cruise passengers), so treat it as a rough rank rather than an exact number of tourists.

It is printed in Foil, the finish for places with 6 to 15 million visitors a year, rarer than 27% of the places with figures. The fewer travelers a place receives, the rarer its finish, from plain Ink to Mythic.

Yes, and more than once: the Travelers’ Century Club lists Georgia, and counts Abkhazia as separate destination. The club’s list has 330 destinations.
