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.
