YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 28, ARMENPRESS: In 2012 the National
Competitiveness Foundation of Armenia jointly with the Armenian
tourism agencies presented Armenia in 5 international tourism
exhibitions, including "Vakantiebeurs'2012" in Utrecht, "ITB'12" in
Berlin, "MITT'12" in Moscow (by the way, Armenia participates in the
exhibition for the first time), "Top Reza'2012" in France, "JATA'2012"
in Tokyo. Participation in two other international tourism exhibitions
is intended: in October "TTG Incontri" in 'Rimini' and in November
"WTM'2012" in London.
It was reported to Armenpress by the Executive Director of the
National Competitiveness Foundation of Armenia Arman Khachatryan on
the occasion of the World Tourism Day.
In 2012 the National Competitiveness Foundation of Armenia initiated
the idea of presenting Armenia by a joint pavilion with Artsakh in the
international exhibition thus raising the indignation of Azerbaijan.
"Despite the Azerbaijani's complaints around the participation of
Artsakh and the vandalism towards our pavilion in Paris, we succeeded
to complete our joint participation as we had planned and in Tokyo we
suspended the anti-Armenian propaganda of the Azerbaijanis", - said
the Executive Director of the National Competitiveness Foundation of
Armenia Arman Khachatryan.
The current year is quite significant for the Foundation from the
point of view of establishment of partner relations. "The annual
research of the international visitors to Armenia will be shortly
carried out jointly with the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of
Armenia, National Statistical Service of the Republic of Armenia,
USAID Enterprise Development and Market Competitiveness Program,
German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ), aiming at defining
comprehensive descriptions of the incoming foreign tourists", - said
Arman Khachatryan.
>From the point of view of the tourism development Arman Khachatryan
separated the memorandum of understanding signed with the UN, aiming
at the development of community and tourism infrastructures and
creation of new working places in Tatev and nearby villages. In the
same context he stated about the importance of the memorandum signed
between the Armenian Apostolic Church, Ministry of Education of the
Republic of Armenia and the National Competitiveness Foundation of
Armenia on cooperation in the reconstruction process of Tatev Monastic
Complex.
"We unite our potentials to carry our joint works in the Monastic
Complex reconstruction and territory improvement. The main objective
of the memorandum is to foster the restoration and preservation of the
historical and cultural heritage, as well as become a part of the
renaissance of the spiritual and cultural life", - said the Executive
Director of the National Competitiveness Foundation of Armenia.
Concerning the memorandum of understanding signed with the Birthright
Armenia Organization (known as Depi Hayk as well), Arman Khachatryan
mentioned that it aims at attracting the potential of the Diaspora
Armenians young people to the development of Armenia. "I am quite
certain that the consolidation of the ideas and knowledge potential of
the Armenian Diaspora might serve as a guarantee for building a
knowledge and national competitive state", - concluded the Executive
Director of the Foundation.
The National Competitiveness Foundation of Armenia carries out target
works in the international arena in the field of representation of
Armenia in tourism development in particular. In the abovementioned
platforms the Foundation presented up-to-date and refreshed
information materials describing Armenia in different languages and
currently it works on the development of a brochure in Persian, Arabic
and Chinese languages.
The National Competitiveness Foundation of Armenia organized 5
journalistic-cognitive visits with the participation of Israeli and
Russian well-known mass media representatives, followed by the
numerous publications about the historic, cultural, national and
spiritual values of Armenia in foreign authoritative mass media.
