5 new hotels in Yerevan to develop business tourism

YEREVAN, APRIL 5, ARMENPRESS: By the end of the year five new hotels will be built in Yerevan, which will be both of the medium class and 5-stars class complexes. As Armenpress was reported by the Head of theYerevan MunicipalCulture and Tourism Department Maria Baraghamyan, the three of the hotel complexes would be built in the Center of the city, one of them – in Nork Marash community and one – in Avan administrative community.

The Chairman of the Armenian Association of Travel AgentsSimon Khachaturyan believes that the hotels would foster the development of business tourism in Yerevan. “Today Yerevan needs business class hotel complexes, which will be able to accept several hundreds of clients. Often some delegations, visiting Yerevan, complain that they do not fit in the same hotel and have to take rooms in different hotels”, - said Khachaturyan.

TheArmenian TourismAssociation Arthur Voskanyan stated that Yerevan needs not only expensive but also comfortable medium class hotels. “Notwithstanding how important it is to have 5-stars hotel complexes, the experience shows that the tourists more prefer medium class hotels, which are not so expensive, but at the same time have all the necessary conditions”, - said Voskanyan.

There are 44 hotels in Yerevan at present. About 850 thousands of tourists visit Yerevan annually.
