The tourism season in Armenia has become longer. The number of
tourists wanting to see Armenia in fall is not small tour operator
rating subject lecturer at Armenia's State Institute of Economics
Ruben Grigoryan said.
According to him, if previously the tourism season was ending by
October 5-10, today they are almost no empty rooms in hotels. `The
tourism season has become longer. Clever tourists come to Armenia in
fall, the most beautiful season. We have different celebrations during
this period - Independence Day, capital's holiday, number of festivals
in the provinces,' he said.
`A tourist spends averagely 100-150 euros in Armenia. So each tourist
is a treasure for our country,' Grigoryan added.
The sphere's specialist said the local tourism is also developing in
Armenia. `But we need to develop international tourism for
December-March period as well,' he said.
For it, he said, a number of interesting events are necessary for the
hotels conducting a more flexible policy.
`The packages, food should be made cheaper. If all this is done
tourism will develop here,' the expert explained.
Asked what Armenia needs for the development of tourism, Grigoryan,
who is also CEO at Romea attractive tour club, said if rural tourism
develops each site will become attractive.
`Local self-governmental bodies should work out a program promoting
development of local tourism. For instance if one-two rope ways work
in the territory of Mount Ara, the tourism there will immediately
develop in all respects both in respect of skiing and summer rest,' he
said.
According to the UN World Tourism Organization, the number of
travelers in 2012 will reach one billion in the whole world.
