Armenians prefer to celebrate New Year in warm and tropical countries.

Being an ancient nation of traditions, Armenians always considered New Year a family holiday and preferred to see the New Year’s eve at home.

To date majority of us used to think so. However, people change along with traditions. Modern Armenians prefer to celebrate holidays in an exotic country near the ocean. LURER.com reporter talked to Nelli Ohanjanyan, the head of tourist agency "Universal Tour", to clarify what countries our relatively well-to-do compatriots choose to spend New Year holidays in.

According to her words, those wishing to see New Year abroad prefer Egypt, Dubai and Turkey. “Armenians prefer to celebrate New Year in warm, tropical countries. The Schengen states are also popular,” she said, underlining that it is stipulated by high prices for European tours. 

“The prices for popular tours do not reduce as clients anyway are ready to pay,” she stated, mentioning that ticket prices grew for 10% during the holidays.
