Tourism issues in Armenia

By Messenger Staff
Friday, January 6
In 2011 Armenia was visited by around 800,000 tourists. Tourists flock
to Armenia from Georgia, Iran, Turkey, some European countries and the
USA. According to official data however most of the visitors coming to
Armenia are ethnic Armenians. Therefore most of the visitors coming to
the country stay with relatives and friends, rather than in hotels.
Only 13% of tourists see Armenia as a holiday place to visit. And only
around 5% visit Armenia for reasons of receiving medical support or
education there.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
