YEREVAN. - A delegation of tour operators from Armenia will visit Iran in January 2017.  

Head of the Tourism Department at the Ministry of Economic Development and Investments of Armenia, Mekhak Apresyan, told the aforementioned to Armenian News – NEWS.am.

Together with the Iranian colleagues, they will discuss the organization of joint tours to both countries.

Now only a few common tours to Iran and Armenia are offered. ''They are much less than, for instance, the Armenian-Georgian tours and we want to correct this,'' Apresyan added.

He also recalled that since the beginning of August 2016, visa free regime entered into force between Armenia and Iran, whose privileges the Iranian tour operators already know about.
