    The number of tourists coming to Armenia this June dropped as
    compared to June last year, Mika Intour LLC representatives told
    Epress.am today.

    Mika Intour customers mainly prefer to vacation in the Armenian towns
    of Tsaghkadzor, Dilijan and Jermuk.

    Another local tour operator, Ani Tour, likewise noticed a drop in the
    number of tourists. According to a company spokesperson, those wanting
    to vacation in Armenia prefer to visit mainly historical and cultural
    spots - Garni, Geghard, Khor Virap, Haghartsin, Sevan and Dilijan.

    However, unlike Mika Intour and Ani Tour, the number of tourists
    using the services of Armenia Travel has increased.

    According to the travel agency's tour manager, this is due to an
    improved level of service, as well as with developments in the rest
    of the world. As an example, the Armenia Travel tour manager cited
    Syria and Egypt being "closed" due to the political situation in
    these countries. The number of tourists visiting these countries has
    dropped and people are looking for new holiday spots in the region.

    The Armenia Travel tour manager also noted that their customers
    approach them with a set agenda and prefer mainly historical and
    cultural venues: Garni, Geghard, Khor Virap, Noravank, and now Tatev,
    as well as Yerevan.

    ABP Armenian Travel Bureau reservation manager Hasmik Hakobyan,
    speaking to Epress.am, stated the number of tourists approaching their
    office has remained the same as compared to the same period last year.

    Their customers prefer Jermuk and Yerevan, she added.
