What it does

Every month: hotels, guest houses and holiday rentals that appeared in your city in the last six months, the new ones only, in a sheet for the tourism licensing team to check.

In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Tbilisi, find hotels, guest houses and 2 more in the area, keep only new ones, clean up their categories, then add row in Google Sheets and email the list to you.

Why it is useful

Unregistered places to stay escape tax and safety checks. The new ones are listed each month.

The time it saves

Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 120 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 2 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 7 blocks.
