Application for the CIS region.

Actually, it was a test, Merlin. "Chicken coop" is a bit of an exaggeration. I'm really impressed! That phrase made my day!
I was in Batumi, and it's frankly boring even with all the excursions. Tbilisi is interesting to see.

I was also in Batumi. And there are definitely more interesting places there than in Chisinau or Michurinsk. You can easily fill a day with a sightseeing tour of the city. And the CIS audience has never aimed for more than that.
Plus, Batumi has the sea. If someone thinks that's not needed, then let's remember CIS-2013, the sea was very much in demand.
Tbilisi is also cool, but I would choose Batumi because of the sea, shorter distances, and more developed tourist infrastructure.

But in general, wherever the organizer appears, that's where we'll go :)
