"Competitive Armenian Private Sector" (CAPS) research showed that most
tourists arriving in Armenia are Diaspora representatives. Anyway,
CAPS managed to use the Diaspora potential and propagandize Armenia to
promote tourism, CAPS Chief of Party Artak Ghazaryan told Panorama.am.

"A big list of tourism items is available in Armenia, which, though,
has not been duly advocated worldwide. Tourism in Armenia has great
potential to develop ," he said.

According to him, tourists interested in the cultural, religious,
adventure tourism visit Armenia. He is convinced that in the upcoming
years Jermuk will become a big spa-tourism center.

A. Ghazaryan said, they have conducted some programs and inserted
information panels near the cultural monuments. "I think, the private
sector is interested in the issue and lots of problems will be solved
in the upcoming future. There is quite great attention towards this,"
A. Ghazaryan said.
