Abstract

Several possibilities and aspects of the agro-tourism development have been considered a relatively new tourist's direction in Armenia's touristic industry. The most important prerequisites for the development of agro-tourism in Armenia are: high potential of natural resources, ancient historical and cultural heritage (many touristic sights of archaeological, religious, historical character), state programs of agro-tourism development, improvement of infrastructure and rich traditions of national cuisine. Analysis of these assumptions leads to the conclusion that the development of agro-tourism in our country is rather promising.
