The number of tourists visiting Armenia increased by 10.3% in 2011
as compared to 2010, Deputy Minister of Economy Ara Petrosyan told
a press conference today.
Most visitors come from the CIS, European countries, also as from
Japan and other Asian countries, the Deputy Minister said.
Ara Petrosyan disagrees with the opinion that having rest in Armenia is
an expensive pleasure. "The accommodation fees in most hotels are not
higher than those in other countries of the region. I mean Azerbaijan,
Iran, Georgia and Turkey," he said.
Ara Petrosyan said the reconstruction of roads to the places of
interest will be in the focus of attention this year, and the Ministry
of Economy is actively cooperating with the Ministry of Transport
and Communication on the issue.
Another priority in 2012 is to ensure the proportional development
of tourism resources in marzes of the republic.
