Abstract

 

Some new data about the bioclimatic characteristics (Tourism Climate Index and light ions content in air) of the village Mukhuri (Western Georgia), useful for the development of the health resort-tourist potential of this locality are represented. It is shown that for the development of mass tourism the months from March through November are favorable. The results of measurements of light ions concentration in air near the bank of river Khobistskali, in Shurubumu karstic cave and forest showed the prospect of development in the indicated locality ionotherapy.  It is noted that all months of year are suitable for the therapeutic and preventive tourism.
