Language in and around the fair
Georgian is the official language. English is widely used in Batumi tourism and exhibition settings, and Russian is often understood. Ask the organiser in advance if you need interpretation for technical meetings.
Currency and payments
The Georgian lari (GEL) is the local currency. Cards are widely accepted in Batumi hotels and restaurants, but carry some cash for minibuses, small vendors, and rural transfers.
