NEW YEAR IS CHEAPER IN EGYPT
Support A1+!The many people visit travel agencies on New Year eve. They want to spend the New Year and Christmas somewhere in Armenia or out of Armenia.
For example, many people now visit “Levon Travel” agency. “They prefer to spend the holidays in abroad, particularly they want to spend the holidays somewhere in the South – Dubai, Egypt, etc”, told the employees of the agency. They also informed that travel prices had not increased; simply cheap tickets for a tour were exhausted long ago.
“Miatet” agency organizes travels in the Republic and out of the Republic during the holidays. It is ridiculous that it is more profitable for the RA citizens to leave abroad than to rest in Tsakhkadzor, Hankavan or Sevan. According to the employee of the organization, 100 thousand drams is needed for one person to spend the holidays somewhere in Armenia for six days. But the holidays in Arab United Emirates costs 299 thousand drams for 12 days. Majority of travels prefer to rest in Egypt and Antalya. “It is cheaper to organize the holidays out of Armenia. 11 days in Egypt cost 487 thousand drams, while in Antalya – 295 thousand drams”, she said.
The director of “Armenian Bureau of Travels” Hovhannes Margaryan informed “A1+” that few people prefer to spend the holidays in Armenia. “Russia is our main market”, he says, noting that 90 percent of tourists spend their holidays in Tsakhkadzor.
It should be mentioned, that price of the tickets to Armenia increase before New Year. You may leave for Moscow for 67 570 drams, but tickets from Moscow to Yerevan cost 141 000 drams.
