"National Tourism Office of Armenia in Russia and CIS Countries" will
be opened, which started its activity from November 2009 in Moscow.
Maria Atayan, Director of National Tourism Office (NTO) said that
the main goal of the organization is to promote tourism in Armenia.
"Armenia is a very beautiful country having many advantages prom the
point of view of tourism, among which is alpine nature, Christian
heritage and cultural sites. Due to history, general interests
and language Armenia can become attractive for Russian tourists",
said Atayan.
Armenia can attract tourists by low prices for which the government's
support is necessary, particularly in the issue of reduction of
certain taxes for air transportation, as well as regular work with
representatives of hotel business. Due to correct advertisement and
PR tourism can play serious role in the development of economy of the
country. "We are ready to work not only for involvement of Russian
tourists to Armenia, but also involve potential investors for the
development of necessary infrastructures", said Atayan. NTO will
suggest not only traditional types of tourism in Armenia, but also
develop religious tourism, medical tourism and rafting (floating on
the raft - different types of inflatable rubber dinghy).

tourism, conduction of business-forums and conferences in Armenia. In
the nearest future, it is planned to launch Internet portal of the
organization where maximum information about Armenia can be available
and any tourism operator can find any interesting information for him.
"The main activities are conducted in Moscow tourism market but it
is planned to expand it in the regions of Russia, NIS countries and
Europe where there is Armenian Diaspora", said Atayan. At the end of
November new NGO "National Tourism Office of Armenia in Russia and
NIS Countries" was established.
It will support development of tourism between Armenia and Russia. NTO
