YEREVAN, JANUARY 27, ARMENPRESS: Nearly the 950 million out of the
about 7 billion people living in the world make a tour of different
countries, and the rest go on a tour in the homeland. Chairman of
the Armenian Union of Ingoing Tour Operators, Rector of the Armenian
Tourism Institute Robert Minasyan said during the press conference at
"Armenpress" press hall that now all the countries of the world are
actively working in the direction of development of tourism. "Tourism
is also an activity and industry. Our country has all the prerequisites
for development of tourism, we only need the human resource," he said.
"I think the first primary condition for development of the sphere
is creation of conditions for Armenian people to go on a tour inside
the country. That our people do not take a rest inside the borders of
our country must be a signal for us. We should reconsider the price
policy," Robert Minasyan said, adding that there are not corresponding
organizations in provinces, while the most important Armenian
historical and cultural values are in provinces. According to Mr.
Miansyan, service is also culture, which must be ensured with an
educational system.
In the direction of tourism development Armenia is now in negotiations
with Russia, which is one of the most developed countries in regard
to tourism. "To develop tourism in Armenia first of all we must learn
smiling," Mr. Minasyan said.
To remind, the Union of Ingoing Tour Operators aims to add the number
of visitors to Armenia, to represent Armenia as hospitable country,
and to develop the ingoing tourism. Sixteen tour organizations engaged
in ingoing tourism are members of the Union.
