    More Iranian Tourists Travel to Armenia

    August 16, 2014 - 17:44


    TEHRAN (Tasnim) - About 35,000 Iranian tourists visited Armenia in the
    first half of this year, said Mekhak Apresyan, the head of tourism
    department of Armenia's ministry of economy.

    A total of 495,967 tourists have come to Armenia in the first half of
    2014, showing an increase of 17.3% compared to the same period last
    year, Apresyan stated.

    About 44% of the tourists are from Russia, 28% from Georgia, 12-14%
    from the EU (Germany, France, Italy and Scandinavia) and 7% from Iran.

    The number of Iranian tourists visiting Armenia had been steadily on
    the rise for years.

    Armenia and Iran have already unveiled plans to sign a memorandum on
    cooperation in the field of tourism.

    "Iran is an important market for us. This country is not only our
    neighbor, but we have good neighborly relations with it, which is
    important for the sphere. Armenia is more accessible and affordable
    for them and with this new memorandum we will expand and intensify our
    cooperation in the sector," said Head of the Department of Tourism at
    Armenia's Ministry of Economy Mekhak Apresyan back in July.
