On November 12 the regular session of RA National Assembly started and during it the issue on Tourism and Tourist activity was already discussed.
As reported, MP Hrant Bagratyan noted that there are 2 major problems in the tourism field of Armenia; Paying the VAT and the monopoly of national air carrier.
According to Bagratyan, the law on Tourism and Tourist activity must include some changes in it, in order to develop the tourism sphere in Armenia.
“The price of the flight tickets reaches up to 40 % of the tourists’ costs. I do agree that changes in the hotel projects must be done but first of all we should pay attention to such issues” said Bagratyan.
Karen Tchshmarityan, Republican MP, agreed with Bagratyan and said that along with the hotel projects other issues must be solved in the field.
