YEREVAN, June 23. /ARKA/. Armenia’s tour operators need to foster ties with international partners in order to achieve dynamic tourism development, said Robert Minasyan, president of the Union of Incoming Tour Operators of Armenia (UITO).
“Amid the crisis, our tour operators should bolster cooperation with their offshore colleagues,” he added.
Pointing out Russia, Germany, Italy, France, Japan and China as Armenia’s chief donors, he said the countries annually send millions of tourists abroad.
Citing Turkey’s example, Minasyan said “the country is prospering thanks to its tourism business.”
He believes the crisis will have little impact on the country’s tourism if local tour operators work properly, delivering high-quality services.
