The twelfth international Caucasus Travel Show was held in Yerevan
on March 1 and 2. This year's event featured 75 exhibitors, of which
58 are from the 11 provinces of Armenia.
Since 1999, the CTS has served as a meeting place for local tour
operators and other representatives of the sector to establish new
partnerships.
Speaking about the significance of the exhibition, President of the
Armenian Union of Travel Agents Simon Khachatryan noted that time has
come for tourism to be of regional character instead of developing
in one concrete country.
Besides tour operators, exhibitors include travel agencies, hotels
and resorts, airlines, tourism educational institutions, NGOs,
tourism-related magazines and information agencies.
Head of the USAID Enterprise Development and Market Competitiveness
(EDMC) Project Bruno Cornelio notices improvement of the exhibition
year by year.
"Our goals are increased employment, increased incomes and increased
exports. As you know the government has set a target of 1 million
visitors by 2014," he said.
