ArmInfo.In 2024, Armenia welcomed 2.2 million tourists, a 7% decrease from the previous year, as reported by Gevorg Papoyan, the Minister of Economy of Armenia, during a press conference on January 13.  He noted that the decrease in tourist numbers was primarily due to fewer visitors from Russia,  while there was an increase in tourists from other destinations,  particularly from China, India, France, Georgia, the UAE, and South  Korea.  At the same time, Papoyan noted that the Ministry has a  target of reaching 2.6 million tourists by 2026, a goal he believes,  is quite realistic.
