Holy Echmiadzin Promotes Religious Tourism in Armenia (Armenian News Agency)

I had the wonderful honor of visiting and touring Armenia several years ago, as I worked together with Armenian tourism authories in regards to developing the faith-based tourism market.

As such, I was thrilled to come across the article below just this week. Armenia has so much to offer and is such a remarkable destination for religious tourism - especially with its incredible history and heritage of faith through the centuries. I believe it will be one of the great new destinations for people in faith.

After you read the article below, I encourage you to visit the official tourist office website for Armenia:
