The development of the tourist industry in the Kotayk region of
Armenia requires serious investments.
At a news conference held in the RA Ministry of Territorial
Administration, Kotayk Governor Kovalenko Shahgaldyan stated that
the Kotayk region has the largest number of historical and cultural
monuments in Armenia. Arzni, Tsakhkadzor, Aghveran, Garni and Geghard
are touristy places.
Shahgaldyan reported that it is the Kotayk region that is visited by
over 70% of foreign tourists in Armenia.
"The Kotayk region has great potential for tourism development, which,
however, requires serious investments – both government and foreign
investments, as well as donations," Shahgaldyan said.
