Summary/Abstract: In this study, the dimensions of regional trade between Georgia and Turkey and its effect on commercial activity in Artvin region were investigated. The data from TUIK (Turkish Statistical Institute), Artvin Governorship and Batum Consulate were used as main sources. In addition, a survey was applied to 230 trades people operating in the region to investigate the details. The data obtained in the questionnaires were analysed by using IBM SPSS 16.0 data analysis program by dividing the participants into groups according to their trading patterns. Findings from the survey showed that the political, administrative and economic developments in Georgia affected trade between the two neighbouring countries, the close districts took the advantage of the regional trade but the distant districts did not benefit from it and the revenues of the participants increased significantly after the commencement of this trade.
