Armenia sees sharp decline in tourist arrivals

The number of tourists visiting Armenia sharply declined in January this year. It appears that the millions of drams spent on the city’s New Year decorations have not yielded the desired results.

According to official data released by the Ministry of Economy, Armenia welcomed 139,500 tourists last month. For comparison, the country received 154,319 visitors in January last year.

In January 2025, the majority of tourists came from Russia (39.5%), followed by Georgia (13%) and Iran (9.4%).
