    During the World Travel Market (WTM), eTurboNews (eTN) visited the
    Armenia stand, where representatives from the Armenia Tourism Board,
    hotels, resorts, and Armenian tour operators were exhibiting to
    introduce Armenia to WTM exhibitors.

    Motaz Othman, eTN's Middle East editor, had a few minutes talk with
    Ms. Anna Khachaturova and asked her about Armenia's attractions and
    what makes it a unique and interesting destination along with a large
    number of interesting and important historical and early Christian
    monuments, rich cultural heritage, fascinating landscapes, and diverse
    flora and fauna.

    Anna Khachaturova shared that first of all, it is Armenians living in
    this ancient and beautiful country, therefore, all cultural tour
    programs and holiday packages are featured and strengthened with the
    human touch, enabling tourists to explore traditions, national
    characteristics, culture, and, of course, the famous hospitality of
    Armenians. All travel packages, together with discovering the most
    interesting architectural, Christian, cultural, and historical
    monuments, most of which are included in the UNESCO World Heritage
    List, as well as fantastic landscapes of Armenia, also include visits
    to the Armenian countryside, meetings with interesting local people,
    participation in making famous Armenian hand-made carpets, Armenian
    souvenirs, Armenian wine and brandy, and Armenian traditional bread,
    "Lavash."

    Walk and explore, trekking, hiking, and culture tours enable tourists
    to appreciate the countryside and healthy lifestyle, see the most
    important sightseeing places, and explore the country on foot rather
    than by bus. These holidays are more focused on the discovery the
    country's nature, Armenians, and the Armenian lifestyle. Trekking
    tours enable visitors to experience the atmosphere of and gain a real
    insight into a local area where one may enjoy the sights and sounds of
    Armenia's glorious countryside. Tourists will see fascinating details
    of areas inhabited by man for over many thousands of years; hear about
    the history, farming, flora, and fauna; and learn entertaining
    anecdotes of those famous areas. Walks include visits along the way
    and a great chance to meet local people. Armenia tour operators are
    promoting long-term partnership with the community-based providers of
    tourist services thus supporting the development of local economies
    and pioneering and promoting socially- and environmentally-responsible
    tourism in Armenia.

    Trekking/walking programs are about filled environments rich in
    natural beauty, wildlife, history, and cultural realities of Armenia.

    These tours present a fantastic and unprecedented mixture of
    riding/trekking and adventure tourism in Armenia's most fascinating
    mountainous wild environment and discovery of Armenia's rich cultural,
    historical, and ethnic heritage.

    Armenian cuisine is as ancient as the history of Armenia and a
    wonderful combination of different tastes and aromas. Closely related
    to eastern cuisine, various spices, vegetables, fish, and fruits
    combine to present a unique experience for any visitor to the country.

    Fruits such as peaches, apples, pears, cherries, mulberry, figs,
    pomegranates, strawberries, and water melons are particularly
    succulent, but in particular, Armenia is famed for its apricots, which
    many consider taste better than anywhere else in the world. As early
    as the 4th century BC, Alexander the Great brought apricot trees from
    Armenia to Greece, which eventually found their way to Rome.

    Environmental protection is important among local communities and
    people, so tourists will enjoy the care and preservation of local
    fauna and flora.

    A warm welcome to Armenia is extended to everyone who visits - the
    single traveler, couples, families, and groups of various sizes.

    Armenia is exciting, enjoyable, and forever memorable; a destination
    where you can experience archaeology, architecture, Christianity,
    history, culture, and most of all, the warm Armenian welcome.
