Mehak Apresyan Armenia is planning to cooperate with tourism operators
of Azerbaijan and Turkey.

Mehak Apresyan, chief of department and tourism and territorial
economic development under the Economy Ministry, told reporters that
Armenia is developing a new tourism product- "Spirit of Caucasus".

He said this will be a regional touristic package to involve all the
South Caucasus countries, in particular, Armenia, Georgia and
Azerbaijan. Turkey’s involvement is also possible. He considers that
this proposal will be in demand because it will help tourists cut
expenses and visit the whole region. In addition, this will help raise
the tourists’ flow and the interest in the region.

He noted that due works with the private sector have already been
held and they are working at a touristic package. In this regard,
there is a plan to establish cooperation with the tourism operators of
Azerbaijan and Turkey. Apresyan said the opening of the
Armenian-Turkish border will have a positive influence on tourism.
