The Chairperson of Armenia's Tourism Committee, Lusine Gevorgyan, announced that the country is ready to host up to three million tourists in 2025, provided they are evenly distributed throughout the year rather than concentrated during the peak season from May to September.

In an interview with Public Television, Gevorgyan emphasized the need to improve the quality of tourism infrastructure. She stated that special programs are planned to achieve this, including training courses for hotel sector workers in the regions of the republic.

"We understand the importance of quality infrastructure—good roads, hotels, and high-level services. It is particularly crucial to redirect the tourist flow from Yerevan to other regions of the country," the head of the Committee noted.

Previously, BMG reported that more than 2.2 million tourists visited Armenia in 2024, representing a 5.1% decrease (or 120,000 fewer visitors) compared to 2023, according to the country's Tourism Committee.

The majority of tourists in December 2024 were from Russia, accounting for 43.1% of all visitors. Tourists from Georgia ranked second (13%), followed by visitors from Iran (8.4%).
