PanARMENIAN.Net – Nagorno Karabakh problem shouldn’t hamper the
development of the tourism industry in Armenia, Secretary-General of
the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) said.
Taleb Rifai cited the examples of the Cyprus dispute and Croatia
after the breakup of Yugoslavia to prove his point.
“There is no country in the world devoid of political problems.
However, it mustn’t hamper the development of tourism industry,”
he said.
“Armenia may become a top tourist destination. It possesses every
potential for development of the tourism industry,” the official said.
