Armenia has an incredible capacity for developing tourism, President
Emeritus at IFTTA (International Forum of Travel and Tourism Advocates)
John Downes said Friday in Armenia, at an informal meeting where
tourism-related legislation was discussed.
"It can be said that Armenia is one of Europe's unsolved mysteries,
and this mystery should be solved," he said.
He said that to solve this mystery it is necessary to properly organize
tourism here, differentiate this area and improve services.
The expert thinks that legislative reforms can contribute a great
deal to this process.
Downes thinks that Armenia, using the world experience, should change
laws in accordance with European standards.
He also advised Armenian officials to pay greater attention to the
travel agencies which boost the country overseas.
Armenia hosted 230,000 tourists in the first half of 2010 (11.2%
year-on-year growth).
