    HOLIDAYMAKERS GET GEORGIA REFUNDS

    Tourists with trips booked to Georgia are being offered refunds or
    trips to Armenia instead, after the conflict with Russia this week.

    Explore Worldwide, the leading UK operator to Georgia, predicts that
    the country will "be back on the tourist map within a year" after
    the violence has ended. The company sends about 100 holidaymakers
    to Georgia annually. A spokesman said: "The type of person who goes
    there on holiday will not necessarily be put off by a war."

    The Foreign and Commonwealth Office advises against travel to the
    country.

    Several cruise lines that stop at Georgia's Black Sea port of Butumi
    are rethinking itineraries.
