In the first 9 months of 2009 Armenia was visited by 423,000 tourists,
almost 6% more than in the same period of 2008. Head of the Tourism
Department Mekhak Apresian has stated that Armenia is visited mostly
by persons from Russia, Georgia, the CIS countries, Europe, Iran
and the USA. He also stated that more than 60% of these tourists are
ethnic Armenians.
Recently more tourists have been coming from Turkey, Latin America
and the Scandinavian countries. Apresian thinks that the forthcoming
opening of the Armenian-Turkish border will further facilitate the
development of regional tourism.
