    DIFFERENT TYPES OF TOURISM TO BE PROMOTED IN ARMENIA

    YEREVAN

    The number of tourists visited Armenia during the first month of the
    running year reached 147 069 which is 20 000 more as compared with the
    2001 indices. The 34.9% arrived from Russia, 28,1% from Georgia, 7,8%
    from Iran, 4,5% from the USA. An official from the Economy Ministry's
    Tourism Department told Armenpress that this year "Armenia, the Noah's
    Country" 52-minute documentary film about Armenia shot by the "Buzz
    Business" Spanish company will be broadcasted in different countries of
    the world and in a number of states multilingual printed, audio-video
    and advertising materials will be spread which will attract potential
    tourists to Armenia.

    Head of the Armenia's National Competitiveness Foundation public
    relations officer Zara Amatuni said that the materials telling about
    Armenia will be spread particularly in the four targeted countries
    for Armenia - England, Germany, Italy and France.

    Yerevan municipality's culture department also plans a number of events
    in Yerevan attractive and favorable for tourists. "The majority of the
    tourists coming to Armenia stays in Yerevan. In Armenia only cultural
    tourism is spread, this year we are also planning to promote social,
    ecological types of tourism. I think that by January we will complete
    our programs," specialist of the Municipality's culture department
    Aram Baghramyan said.

    Director of one of the tourism companies Anna Karapetyan said that
    the absence of good rest houses in Armenia is the main obstacle for
    the promotion of different types of tourism.

    "With almost the same prices tourist may depart for Batumi, Kabuleti
    and live in quite good conditions and in many of our rest houses
    in spite of high prices there are not even satisfactory living
    conditions," Anna Karapetyan said.
