Time spent at cafés and restaurants for leisure
has increased in the last 12 years.
„IPM Research“ surveyed 1200 respondents across the country to find out how often Georgians go to cafés and restaurants in order to have fun. Here are the results of the survey.
As it turns out 42% of the respondents goes to a café or a restaurant for leisure at least once a month. They visit this kind of establishments on average 3 times a month. A person spends approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes on one visit to a café/restaurant. As it turns out, men spend more time than women at cafés and restaurants. This tendency remains across all age groups.
As a result of the survey it became clear that respondents in the younger age group spend the most time on visits to cafés and restaurants. Young people between the ages of 18 and 34 spend the most time in these establishments for leisure.
People in the age group between 18 and 34 spend on average 32 days a year in similar establishments for the purposes of having fun. All in all, a 65-year-old has spent 87 days at cafés and restaurants during their life. It should be mentioned that compared to year 2006, time spend on this activity has increased across all age groups, which could be explained by the increase of numbers of similar establishments, increase in popularity and relative improvement of population’s economic situation. It could also be that increase in data has been influenced by the change in culture of communication with friends/acquaintances. This change implies the tendency of replacing home visits with visits to these establishments.
