YEREVAN. - Armenia keeps up with other countries in the area of tourism promotion said the Head of Tourism and Territorial Economic Development Department of Armenian Ministry of Economy Mekhak Apresyan.

«PR of Armenia is carried out on a proper level in other countries. CNN aired a 52 minutes documentary about the sights of Armenia for a period of 2006-2008. Spanish TV Espanyola, Czech National TV aired relevant commercials, however, we must be sensible in spending all the funds," said Apresyan.

He added that the media should cover not only the negative aspects of tourism industry but also the positive ones.

“It is essential that every Armenian citizen realize that every tourist’s visit is likely to increase employment in Armenia," noted Apresyan.
