New Direct Flight Connecting Armenia and Italy

May 26, 2009 - PRLog -- Although the flights will initially be only weekly, Festa Tour Avia has indicated that if all goes well, they will consider the possibility of opening the flights to other Italian cities, given the size of the outbound market and the level of interest in Armenia amongst Italian travelers.

The Armenian Tourism Development Agency, with the support of its Italian representative Nadia Pasqual, has made great strides in promoting Armenia in Italy. So much so, Italian leisure arrivals to Armenian Hotels have increased by 41% per year on average during the past three years compared to 11% for leisure tourists overall.

Ticket prices are expected to be around €481. Further details are available from www.myair.com
