YEREVAN, January 21. /ARKA/. Armenia is capable of welcoming 3 million tourists in 2025, but not during the peak period that lasts from May to September, Chairperson of the Tourism Committee Lusine Gevorgyan said in an interview with the Public Television of Armenia.
According to her, it is necessary to improve the quality of infrastructure in this area.
“We realize that in order to receive tourists, it is necessary to have good infrastructure – good roads, hotels, quality service on these roads and in hotels,” Gevorgyan noted.
She said that there is still work to be done to improve the quality of service.
"A set of relevant programs are planned for 2025, in particular, organizing courses for persons providing hotel services in the regions of the country. And, most importantly, it is necessary to redirect tourists visiting Armenia to the regions, without concentrating only on Yerevan," Gevorgyan emphasized.
