Holidays are cheaper abroad
Holidays in Armenia are much more expensive than abroad, according to representatives of tour agencies.
"Prices are scandalous. Christmas package starts at AMD 340,000 per person and reaches AMD 800 000," said Director of Rumea Tour Agency Ruben Grigoryan.
Minister of Economy Tigran Davtyan today met with representatives of the tourism sector to discuss the existing problems and perspectives of development of the field.
"Tourism is an important branch of economy, which can ensure great revenues. A 11% growth has been registered in the sphere as compared with the same period in 2010. If the trends are maintained, we'll cross the threshold of 1 million tourists," the Minister said.
