This article emphasizes the main role and importance of developing and maintaining intercultural relations between states. Intercultural communication appears in all spheres of modern society, being a major factor in the creation of cultural processes. Knowledge of other cultures is the step that allows recognizing the nature of the differences and treating others with a sense of mutual understanding and tolerance. It is necessary for a genuine intercultural dialogue, especially in the tourism industry. The author considers the concept of "cultural values" and "literary tourism"; the role and place of literature in the formation of human consciousness are defined. The author also considers the processes of creating "image" of the territory under the influence of literary tourism and the processes of establishment of inter-cultural and inter-state friendly relations between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Armenia. The stages of development and strengthening of literary relations between states are characterized in the article. Famous literary figures who contributed significantly to the enrichment of both their national literature, and in the development of relations between the two countries are specified.
