    ARMENIA TO HOST EXHIBIT, AWARD CEREMONY ON WORLD TOURISM DAY

    September 27, 2013 - 13:08 AMT

    PanARMENIAN.Net - United Nations World Tourism Organization marks
    World Tourism Day on September 27.

    It was at its third session (Torremolinos, Spain, September 1979),
    that the UNWTO General Assembly decided to establish World Tourism Day,
    beginning in 1980. This date was chosen to coincide with an important
    milestone in world tourism: the anniversary of the adoption of the
    UNWTO Statutes on September 27, 1970.

    The purpose of the event is to foster awareness among the international
    community of the importance of tourism and its social, cultural,
    political and economic value. The event seeks to address global
    challenges outlined in the United Nations Millennium Development
    Goals (MDGs) and to highlight the contribution the tourism sector
    can make in reaching these goals. Armenia posted a tourist inflow of
    321 279 people in January-June 2013, up 14,3% from 2012 results. In
    the reporting period 343 263 left the country to travel, up 13,6%
    from 2012 results. According to data provided by the hotels, the
    majority of tourists are arriving from CIS, most of the from Russia
    (23,7%); European tourists are second in the list, with 8,7%; 6,6%;
    6,3% arriving from France, Germany and Italy respectively.

    11.8%; 6%; 3%; 1,1%; 0,7% of tourists were travelling from the U.S.,
    Iran, Georgia, Canada and Turkey.

    Tourists who visited Armenia over the reposting period were spending
    $115 a day if using the tourist agency's services and twice as less
    if travelling on their own.

    On the occasion of the World Tourism Day, Armenian Youth Foundation
    will organize an exhibit at Yerevan's Northern Avenue, with Armenian
    regions and the capital to be represented by the pavilions installed.

    An official ArmTourism Awards ceremony is due in the evening, to
    honor representatives of the sector who contributed to development
    of tourism in Armenia.
