ARMENIANS PREFER THAILAND
Support A1+!As it turns out it is not only pleasant but also available to have a rest in Thailand. For instance, one of the Yerevan tour agencies offers a 7-day rest in Antalia per a person for 7 – 8thousand USD whereas 15-day rest in Thailand – for 1500 USD. According to Arpine Martirosyan, manager of the tour agency the prices are determined by the cheapness of hotel system; the services of Turkish hotels are comparatively more expensive which has its direct outcome on ticket price.
The busiest travel lines as usual are Turkey (Antalia) and Bulgaria. The number of travelers to Croatia and Montenegro has also increased this year. Anna Davtyan, head of another tour agency claims that mainly people who got acquainted with the wonderful nature of those places during the Soviet period leave for these countries. But while developing tourism in these directions they counter certain obstacles. The main obstacle is the low level of the hotels. By the way, all the tourist agencies unanimously claim that the number of travelers increases year by year. Most travelers are from medium and high strata of the society.
According to their data 30% of Armenians buy tickets to local rest homes. The most striking is that it is more expensive to rest in Armenia than on the shores of the Black or Mediterranean Seas.
