Last year 510 thousands tourists arrived in Armenia which is for 33%
high compared with 2006. According to Mekhak Apresyan, the head of
tourism department at the Ministry of Trade and Economic development,
once the number of the hotels were too few in our country.

Today there are approximately 70 hotels and 35 of which are in Yerevan.

According to Apresyan, Armenia is well presented in the international
tourism market, which has its positive impact on its development.

Apresyan said that the condition of ecotourism in Armenia is more
than sufficient, but there are lots of things to do.

“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
