Even belated implementation of tourism policy won’t be able to preserve
Tsakhkadzor’s reputation as tourist center, according to deputy head
of Armenian Travel Agencies Union Yeghishe Tanashyan.
At news conference in Yerevan, he cited incorrect price policy as
the reason behind tourism recession in Tsakhkadzor.
He emphasized the necessity of governmental support in the development
of tourism in Armenia. “Tatev and Jermuk programs will promote the
development of tourism, however, fulfilling only 15% of Armenian
tourism potential,” deputy head of Armenian Travel Agencies Union
stated.
Yeghishe Tanashyan suggested development of alternative types of
tourism (extreme tourism) and price decrease for air tickets as the
means to boost tourist inflow in Armenia.
