Armenians start vacation on July 15
The hot tours season will start next week.
Travel agencies offer many tours, and citizens of Armenia usually choose tours to Arab, European countries and Turkey.
Even though there are quite many Armenians spending their vacation in Georgia, most of them leave by car or train and they don't call travel agencies.
When speaking about tours, representatives of several travel agencies mention that citizens leaving Armenia mainly start traveling in the second week of July, and there are still many people leaving until late August.
A travel agency employee informed that Armenians mainly leave for seaside areas in Europe in the summer, while there are more Armenians wishing to get acquainted with the given city's cultural life in the fall and on the days of the New Year.
The minimum price for a one-week vacation is 700 dollars or 300,000 drams, which is equivalent to a 7-day vacation at a 3-star hotel in Dubai. "A person has to pay 500,000 drams for a one-week vacation in Europe," said a travel agency representative.
It costs 1,000 dollars to stay in Antalia for a week. Travel agency representatives say Armenians are showing less interest in Antalia and almost nobody leaves for Egypt compared to previous years.
In addition to European and Arab countries, Armenian love to travel to India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and other countries. Travel agencies also offer tours in Armenia starting from 8,000 drams a day.
As you talk to fellow Armenians, you realize that they prefer to leave for places that they haven't visited yet. In addition, they think it is important to organize high-quality vacation as much as they can.
