Armenia’s Tourism Department is predicting the arrival of half
a million tourists yearly by 2010. Recent statistics display an
encouraging trend for the landlocked nation: in 2005, Armenia welcomed
318 000 visitors. That number has risen to an estimated 350 000
for all of 2006. Given that, 500 000 tourists is not out of reach,
but the infrastructure in the country will require improvement to
accommodate and attract prospective visitors.
