ARMENIA'S MEMBERSHIP IN EURASIAN ECONOMIC UNION TO BOOST TOURISM, RECTOR SAYS
YEREVAN, June 13. / ARKA /. Armenia's impending membership in
the Eurasian Economic Union may have a very positive effect on the
development of its tourism industry, said Robert Minasyan, the rector
of the Armenian Institute of Tourism.
According to him, it is necessary to conclude mutual agreements with
Eurasian Economic Union's member countries for further development of
this sector. He also said some benefits are needed to make vacationing
in Armenia more attractive to tourists.
According to official numbers, some 957,240 foreign tourists visited
Armenia in 2013, which was 13.5% more than in 2012 (843,330 people).
The government released last year 46 million drams for the support
of this sector, down from the planned 50 million.
That money was used to finance the participation of Armenian travel
agencies and the Tourism Development Agency of Nagorno-Karabakh
Republic in tourism fairs in Madrid, Berlin and London. ($ 1 - 413.49)
