YEREVAN. - Around 70-75 percent of Armenia's population does not go
on vacation, and this is a result of dire socioeconomic condition,
whereas 2-5 percent rests at the homes of friends and relatives,
Armenian National Association of Consumers President Melita Hakobyan
said during a press conference on Monday, presenting the results of
their survey.
"The socioeconomic conditions are more difficult [now] than they
were several years ago. Who makes use of external, or even perhaps
domestic, tourism? Who is vacationing in [Armenia's] Tsaghkadzor
[city], [Lake] Sevan, or in Jermuk [city]? They ask for unreasonable
prices," she noted.
In Hakobyan's words, Armenia's domestic tourism needs to be affordable
at least for the Armenians. According to her, the local population's
maximum 20 percent is able to make use of these services, and solely
1-2 percent can go on vacation several times during the year.
And as a result, as per Melita Hakobyan, the residents of Armenia
suffer from fatigue.
