He informed that the country's tourism agencies provide many offers in Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh.
As per Apresyan, Armenia's tourism sector is competitive in the region, even though there is still lot to do, specifically in terms of developing the infrastructures. In his words, the country's advantage as compared with its neighbors is its personnel resource.
Mekhak Apresyan said the tourism prices in Armenia are unchanged and are not higher than in Georgia.
