Alternative types of tourism have come to substitute the traditional
type of tourism. Though Turkey has all the necessary conditions
for traditional tourism they work on developing alternative type of
tourism, particularly, medical tourism. Maria Ataian, the director of
"National tourism office of Armenia", says Armenia also has favorable
conditions for developing medical type of tourism. "Stomatology and
curing of cardiovascular diseases is well developed in Armenia. For
instance, stomatology is cheaper in Armenia than in Moscow. And
regarding to cardiovascular diseases it’s possible to have such
operations in Armenia which are possible to have only in Israel,"
she said.
