Armenia is presented by diversified tourism in international exhibitions

YEREVAN, OCTOBER 10, ARMENPRESS. Armenia will take part in “World Travel Market” international tourism exhibition in London on November 7-9. More than 50.000 world tourism representatives from 182 countries are going to take part in the exhibition.

Head of the Tourism Department of the Ministry of Economic Development and Investments Mekhak Apresyan told “Armenpress” in recent years Armenia is presented by diversified tourism in exhibitions of this field.

“We are presenting our entire potential at international tourism exhibitions. We have a lot to present winter, eco, rural, agro tourisms, recently we have started to present adventure tourism. We pay a special place to cuisine, we have a wonderful cuisine, our guests are very impressed and cannot find words to describe it. Event tourism is also very famous as a separate product”, Mekhak Apresyan said.

He said the tourists are very impressed with Armenia’s history, culture, churches, the opportunities for religious tourism. He informed that recently the tourists visited monasteries in Armenia, they just didn’t want to leave.

“Moreover, we have a significant potential for religious tourism development, putting an emphasis on pilgrimage. Works are also being carried out towards that path. Pope Francis when arrived in Armenia said this is not an official visit, rather it is a pilgrimage to the first Christian nation. This proves that in reality we have that potential. According to this year’s state program a meeting is planned with stakeholders to discuss the prerequisites which put the further steps for tourism development on a productive basis”, he said.

Works are carried out aimed at forming regional tourism packages. Mekhak Apresyan said there is already an agreement with Iran on this issue. This year it is already planned to organize a familiarization trip for journalists from Iran to Armenia. In addition, it is planned to organize Iran-Armenia familiarization trip for foreign tourists. The tourism agencies are already working on it.

Armenia annually participates at least 5 international tourism exhibitions. Mekhak Apresyan said Nagorno Karabakh is also taking part.
