A number of tourism organizations do not invite their customers to
Armenia because of hotel shortage in the country, Alexan Zakyan,
director of Union of Incoming Tour Operators of Armenia, told the
reporters on Wednesday.
"Armenia lacks hotels. During these summer days their number is not
enough to accommodate tourists," he said, adding that previously this
gap was filled by Dvin hotel which is not operating now.
Zakyan said it is difficult to say how many hotels are in Armenia but
only few of them correspond to international standards. He stressed
the hotel prices in Armenia are very high. "A tourist arriving in
Armenia needs averagely 5,500 euros while having this sum he/she can
have a better, high-quality rest at the seaside," Zakyan said.
Armine Adamyan, the president of the union, said there is a noticeable
progress in tourism sphere in Armenia but concrete figures are not
known. "Armenia is not Brazil to come here to watch carnivals, Armenia
does not have see, but Armenia attracts tourists with the number of
historic-cultural sites," she said, adding that it is necessary to
organize some events for those visiting Armenia.
