    ARMENIA TOURIST MONUMENTS SHOULD INCREASE VILLAGERS' INCOMES - EXPERT

    July 16, 2014 | 16:12

    YEREVAN. - The tourist sites in Armenia need to increase the incomes
    of the communities, including the rural communities.

    ICOMOS (International Council on Monuments and Sites)/Armenia
    organization director Gagik Gyurjyan stated the aforesaid at a press
    conference on Wednesday.

    Gyurjyan pointed to the Garni Temple--a first century Hellenic temple
    near Garni village in Armenia--as an example of the distribution of
    income from tourist visits.

    Accordingly, the tour operators get money for the trip, the Ministry
    of Culture gets revenue from the visits to the monuments, and the
    traditional sweets and souvenir sales on location get livelier.

    As per the expert, however, the distribution of income from tourist
    visits must be made automatically, and not be decision-based.
