This year the resort town of Dilijan has fixed considerable growth
in the incoming flow of tourists, Armen Santrosyan, Mayor of Dilijan,
said at today's press conference.
He said that throughout 2011 the number of tourists in Dilijan was
15,000, and this index has already been exceeded since early 2012.
Santrosyan added that 70% of the tourists in Dilijan are residents of
Yerevan, and the other 30% are foreigners or representatives of the
Armenian Diaspora. "Many tourists have come from Europe, the United
States, even Japan and China", he said.
Santrosyan said that the price policy of Dilijan's tour operators
allows receiving the representatives of any social groups and to meet
the demands of any type of tourists. "For instance, the price of
cottage accommodation without food starts from 3 thsd or 5 thsd AMD
per day, and the price that includes food is different. There are even
cottages that cost 150 thsd AMD per day", he said.
The mayor stressed that the flow of tourists to Dilijan has increased
thanks to the reforms, including the rehabilitation of the highway to
Dilijan. The private sector has also made big investments in the
construction of new rest houses, hotels, cottages, restaurants, cafes,
and other facilities for leisure and entertainment. For its part, the
community finances the rehabilitation of the intraurban roads and
water supply systems and also improves the architectural appearance of
the town. The construction of the Central Bank's branch will be
completed in 2013.
Due to the CB's support, the renovated and reequipped library of
Dilijan will be opened in two months. The State Revenue Committee of
Armenia finances construction of a large health and education center.
The mayor also said that the major problem of the town was the
landslides, however, this problem is practically solved today, as a
landslide resistance project has been underway since February 2012. In
addition, the drainage systems are being renovated and reconstructed.
