Many Armenian travel agencies use Facebook to promote their business

Dutch expert Willian Blom said that many Armenian travel agencies use Facebook to promote their business.

Blom is on a visit to Armenia to participate in a seminar on promotion of e-marketing and travel agencies websites. The seminar hosted 12 leading tour operators from Armenia and Georgia.

However, the Armenian tour operators do not have a certain online strategy yet, Blom told a press conference in Yerevan.

According to him, currently Internet plays an important role in the activity of tour operators. Blom noted that travel agencies websites serve as a bridge between tourists and tour operators. There are all prerequisites for further tourism development in Armenia, concluded Blom.
