YEREVAN, MAY 25, ARMENPRESS: From September, 2006 Armenia will be
advertised on CNN channel which is accessible to 70% of the world’s
populations. The contest of shooting trailers presenting Armenia has
already ended.
Ara Petrosian, deputy minister of trade and economic development,
told today that after the trailers are ready they will be shown on
CNN seven days a week for 30 and 60 seconds. The broadcasting of a
30-second trailer by CNN costs from 800 to 1,000 USD, which according
to the deputy minister, is quite cheap if we take into consideration
its effectiveness and that each tourist visiting Armenia spends around
1,000 USD here.
The negotiations over the price are still going on and as a country
which is being advertised for the first time Armenia may get some
privilege.
