Description
Georgia's political crisis is already having an economic impact with hotels and restaurants shutting down, investments on hold and a threat of currency devaluation. At Shalva Alaverdashvili's Gallery Palace "ghost hotel" in the centre of the capital Tbilisi, near where regular clashes between pro-EU protestors and police have taken place, three rooms out of 70 are currently occupied, while all the tables in the hotel restaurant are empty. "For us as a business, it's devastating," says Luarsab Togonidze, owner of another empty restaurant. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
