B. Current Visitation Patterns

Descriptive statistics of the number of visits in the last 12 months are shown in
table 2. Table 2 shows that the number of visits ranges from 1 to 51 (at Garni), and that
the average number of visits is between 2 and 3.

5 ARMSTAT (2003) reports an average annual income of 1,045 US$ per household for the population of
Armenia in year 2001. Moreover, the 2001 Republic of Armenian Population Census indicates that women
account for 51.8% of Armenian population, that 62.1% of the Armenians are married, and that the average
age is 38. This suggests that our interviewees tend to be wealthier and more educated than the average
Armenian, and are slightly more likely to be male and married, but are roughly of the same age as the
average Armenian.
