As it turns out it is not only pleasant but also available to have
a rest in Thailand. For instance, one of the Yerevan tour agencies
offers a 7-day rest in Antalia per a person for 7 - 8thousand USD
whereas 15-day rest in Thailand - for 1500 USD. According to Arpine
Martirosyan, manager of the tour agency the prices are determined
by the cheapness of hotel system; the services of Turkish hotels
are comparatively more expensive which has its direct outcome on
ticket price.
The busiest travel lines as usual are Turkey (Antalia) and
Bulgaria. The number of travelers to Croatia and Montenegro has also
increased this year. Anna Davtyan, head of another tour agency claims
that mainly people who got acquainted with the wonderful nature of
those places during the Soviet period leave for these countries. But
while developing tourism in these directions they counter certain
obstacles. The main obstacle is the low level of the hotels. By the
way, all the tourist agencies unanimously claim that the number of
travelers increases year by year. Most travelers are from medium and
high strata of the society.
According to their data 30% of Armenians buy tickets to local rest
homes. The most striking is that it is more expensive to rest in
Armenia than on the shores of the Black or Mediterranean Seas.
