Mayor Adams took his end-of-term travel<\/a> to the country of Georgia, where he toured a new luxury suite at a Tbilisi hotel, the Daily News has learned.<\/p>\n

The getaway, during which the mayor also visited a sports car dealership, appears to be away for pleasure rather than business.<\/p>\n

Giorgi Rtskhiladze, the founder of the U.S.-based Georgia Legacy Foundation, said he personally invited the mayor to the country and that the mayor paid for the trip himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a long awaited trip of a friend to my native country of Georgia,\u201d Rtskhiladze\u00a0said.<\/p>\n

The Georgian-American businessman said the mayor was in the country for just three days. It\u2019s unclear where Adams is now.<\/p>\n

George Ramishvili, chairman of Silk Road Group, which owns the Telegraph Hotel<\/a>, hosted both the mayor and Rtskhiladze in Tbilisi, according to Rtskhiladze. Adams joined the businessmen in officially opening the \u201cNew York Suite\u201d at the hotel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can give you three Fs: Fun, you can enjoy the fun atmosphere, festivity, you can enjoy the food and entertainment, this is a one-stop shop for all that you need, and the friendliness, the staff is as inviting as possible,\u201d Adams said at the opening, according to local Georgian media outlets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you are away from home, you feel like you are home, and all of this adorns and unifies the Telegraph Hotel. I had a fantastic time here, and when I am in Georgia, this is where I would be, the New York City Suite.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adams\u2019 public schedule has been sparse as he\u2019s taken multiple international trips in his last weeks in office. The News previously reported he was jetting off to Mexico, where he said before departing he was going to \u201csmoke a cigar, single malt Scotch and having fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Levy did not say long the mayor plans to be away from New York but emphasized \u201cthis is a 24\/7 city and so the mayor is always on call wherever he may be.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe mayor is on a personal trip, but continues to always stay in touch with staff and continues to monitor what is happening in the city,\u201d Levy said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Videos shared by Forza Tbilisi, a sports car dealership in the capital city, also show Adams hopping in a bright blue convertible and flashing a smile and a thumbs up.<\/p>\n

Adams leaves office on Dec. 31.<\/p>\n

Since October, the mayor has gone on partly taxpayer funded trips to Albania, Israel and Uzbekistan, where he\u2019s met with local government officials. He\u2019s also in recent weeks been on fully taxpayer funded trips to New Orleans, Boston and Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

Sources close to the mayor have said he\u2019s considering job offers with international components.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mayor Adams took his end-of-term travel to the country of Georgia, where he toured a new luxury suite…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":78337,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,2659,85,9,24,692,12,63,87,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-78336","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-election","tag-latest-headlines","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-politics","tag-news","tag-nyc","tag-politics","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78336","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78336"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78336\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78337"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
