Report informs via Armenian media that the minister shared these insights while summarizing the outcomes of the past year.

"In December 2024, Armenia welcomed 134,000 visitors, which is roughly 2,000-3,000 fewer tourists compared to the same period in 2023," stated Papoyan. "Overall, the country received 2,215,000 tourists throughout 2024, a 7% decline from the figures recorded in 2023."
