ARMENIA IS 5TH AT GLOBE SPOT’S TOP 10 COUNTRIES TO TRAVEL TO IN 2013
YEREVAN, June 24./ARKA/. Armenia comes in at # 5 among Top 10 countries
to travel to in 2013, according to Globe Sports portal.
“Despite its rather well developed tourism infrastructure, Armenia
still flies under the radar of most travellers. Boasting having been
the first to embrace Christianity, the country provides ample proof
of that assertion, and following the guidebooks’ suggestions will
most likely leave anyone churched (or monasteried) out,” according
to the portal.
According to Globe Spot, fortunately, those willing to dig a
little deeper will discover a truly amazing country with a beautiful
landscape, but will also encounter genuinely nice people always ready
to offer them a shot of aragh (voda in Armenian language), introduced
by never-ending toasts, or welcome them at their khorovats picnic
(Armenian barbeque), or both.
“And with visa requirements being lifted for EU citizens, starting
in January, there’s even less reason to pass on this one.”
For compiling this rating, a group of professional travelers have
captured what’s happening on the travel scene focusing on destinations
they think will be “hot – or at least should be.”
Armenia was rated within a category of “adventurous places for those
who are going above and beyond, seeking out the best travel.”
Globe Spot rated Portugal as top country to visit in 2013. It is
followed by Mozambique, Kyrgyzstan, Panama, Armenia, Rwanda, Cuba,
Ukraine, Malawi and Canada. -0-
