During Nowruz (Persian New Year), Iranians, who prefer to celebrate the
holidays in Armenia, increase the country's budget by USD 20 million.
As Armenian expert Tigran Davtyan told a news conference in Yerevan,
because of the lack of hotel rooms, Iranians have to rent apartments
at USD150 per night.
Among main problems Iranian tourists face upon arrival in Armenia,
the expert noted the absence of English road signs and lack of contact
with the local police because of language-related difficulties.
The head of the tourism and territorial development department at
Armenian Economy Ministry Mekhak Apresyan, in turn, noted that to
meet the needs of arriving Iranian tourists, Armenian museums provide
exhibit information in Persian.
