    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ 5% growth is stipulated by 2010 tourism development
    program in Armenia; a number of events aimed at tourist flow increase
    are envisaged, the head of tourism management department at RA
    Ministry of Tourism Mekhak Apresyan said.

    As he told a news conference in Yerevan, world crisis made a strong
    impact on tourism growth in Armenia. Before 2009, it amounted to
    20-25%, while in 2009 the figure went down to 3%.

    As Mekhak Apresyan stated, Armenia has infrastructure development
    -related tasks, such as service quality and personnel qualification
    improvement.

    Nevertheless, significant progress was registered in tourism
    infrastructure over the last years. `Here are some figures, allowing
    to assess the level of infrastructure development in Armenia: in 2000,
    only 3-4 hotels could host foreign tourists, while at present there
    are over 170 hotels and other facilities all over Armenia to meet
    modern standards,' he emphasized.
