YEREVAN – Armenian Economy Minister Gevorg Papoyan presented data on tourist visits to Armenia over the past year.
Speaking at a press conference, the minister announced that approximately 131,000 tourists visited the country in December 2024, which is 2,000–3,000 fewer than in December 2023.
“As a result, about 2.215 million tourist visits were recorded last year. More precise data will be published later today,” Papoyan stated.
The minister noted that the annual figure represented a decline of approximately 7%, primarily attributed to a decrease in tourist visits from Russia. However, he highlighted that the number of visitors from other countries had increased.
Looking ahead, Papoyan outlined the ministry’s goal to attract 2.5–2.7 million tourists annually by 2026.
