Armenia is fully ready for the start of the winter tourism season – destinations declared by the Armenian Government as winter tourism centers are ready for winter with their whole capacity.

Mekhak Apresyan, head of the Tourism and Regional Development Department of the Ministry of Economy of Armenia, said at a press conference Monday that Tsakhkadzor (Kotayk province) and Jermuk (Vayots Dzor province) are ready to welcome winter tourists “only if snow does not let us down, the way it happened last year, when it snowed less than it had been forecast.” (According to a preliminary weather forecast by meteorologists, the coming winter will be snowy; first snowfalls are expected in mid-December).
