Armenia aims to boost annual tourist numbers to match population

The Government of Armenia plans to implement measures over the next five years to increase the annual number of tourists visiting the country to match its population. According to the latest census conducted in 2023, Armenia’s permanent population is 2,928,914.

Congratulating the Hungarian airline Wizz Air on increasing its flights from Armenia, Tourism Committee Chairperson Lusine Gevorgyan emphasized that the expansion of routes, the development of civil aviation in Armenia, and the growth of tourist numbers are part of the government’s five-year plan.

“We know that the availability of direct and affordable flights has a direct impact on tourist visits. Over the next five years, we will take measures to ensure that the annual number of tourists visiting our country reaches the country’s population. By the end of the next decade, we believe this number could reach five million per year. We are positioning Armenia as a sustainable and responsible tourist destination,” Lusine Gevorgyan stated.
