The number of tourists coming to Armenia this June dropped as
compared to June last year, Mika Intour LLC representatives told
Epress.am today.
Mika Intour customers mainly prefer to vacation in the Armenian towns
of Tsaghkadzor, Dilijan and Jermuk.
Another local tour operator, Ani Tour, likewise noticed a drop in the
number of tourists. According to a company spokesperson, those wanting
to vacation in Armenia prefer to visit mainly historical and cultural
spots - Garni, Geghard, Khor Virap, Haghartsin, Sevan and Dilijan.
However, unlike Mika Intour and Ani Tour, the number of tourists
using the services of Armenia Travel has increased.
According to the travel agency's tour manager, this is due to an
improved level of service, as well as with developments in the rest
of the world. As an example, the Armenia Travel tour manager cited
Syria and Egypt being "closed" due to the political situation in
these countries. The number of tourists visiting these countries has
dropped and people are looking for new holiday spots in the region.
The Armenia Travel tour manager also noted that their customers
approach them with a set agenda and prefer mainly historical and
cultural venues: Garni, Geghard, Khor Virap, Noravank, and now Tatev,
as well as Yerevan.
ABP Armenian Travel Bureau reservation manager Hasmik Hakobyan,
speaking to Epress.am, stated the number of tourists approaching their
office has remained the same as compared to the same period last year.
Their customers prefer Jermuk and Yerevan, she added.
