Head of the Tourism and Territorial Economic Development Department at
the RA Ministry of Economy Mekhak Apresyan said that Iranian citizens,
who every year visit Armenia to celebrate Nowruz Bayram (the New Year
in Iranian calendar), are first of all attracted by affordable prices,
low transportation costs, close geographic location, rich cultural
heritage and amiability of the Armenian people.
"The general growth in the number of Iranian tourists visiting
Armenia proves that those Iranians, who visit Armenia, later share
their impressions with their friends and relatives, what results in
growth of the visits number," Apresyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
Referring to guests' accommodation in Armenia's hotels, Apresyan
noted that there are certain problems with it already now. "Thus,
our business entities should take this factor into consideration
and be more prepared for it in future," Apresyan said, adding that
Iranians prefer to go to Garni, Geghard, Etchmiadzin and Sevan as
part of their visit to Armenia.
