Governor’s Welcome Greetings, It is my great honor to welcome you to the State of Georgia! Over the years, Marty, our three daughters, and I have visited every corner of our state and enjoyed what makes each community unique. From the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Golden Isles, we’re sure every visitor will find a reason to keep Georgia on their mind. No matter where in our great state you find yourself, some things are always present. Our famous Southern cuisine will prove memorable for the whole family, whether you are grabbing lunch at a local favorite or enjoying an award-winning fine dining experience for dinner. You’ll also find Georgia’s unmatched Southern hospitality on full display in every corner of our state, with each community ready to welcome you with open arms. With attractions for all ages, there is an experience for everyone to enjoy in the Peach State. Learn about our state and nation’s history at museums and historical sites spanning every era of the past. Amusement parks provide thrills, theaters offer shows and concerts, and local artists give a glimpse of our thriving culture. As the home of the 2021 National Champion Georgia Bulldogs and a host of the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup, we are proud to be home of memorable sporting events from Savannah to Athens to Atlanta and beyond. As Georgia celebrates a return to pre-pandemic levels of travel and tourism, I want to thank you for choosing our state. We have led the nation in our recovery because of our measured approach to protecting both lives and livelihoods. As we continue to prioritize supporting those who make our state a welcoming destination, I know these hardworking Georgians are ready to make your trip unforgettable. On behalf of the State of Georgia, welcome, and enjoy your time here. Sincerely, BRIAN P.
