There are proposals which presented to improve the risk management process in this very important sector of the Georgian economy, will help to improve the safe environment and increase investment opportunities.

The main causes of financial risks are studied, namely: lack of working capital and credit, incorrect investment policy, inflation, increased financial liabilities, declining profitability, seasonality of tourism facilities, unqualified staff, the risk of selecting tour operators and others.
