YEREVAN, October 7. /ARKA/. Armenia badly needs specialized exhibition halls, said Ara Stepanyan, director of the LOGOS Expo Center.
“I think Armenia should have more exhibition rooms. It is a serious problem, as we have to use the RA Government’s conference hall, Dom-Moskvi in Yerevan and Dinamo Stadium for our expos,” he added.
Lack of exhibition halls hinders expansion of local business, according to Stepanyan. He said LOGOS Expo had raised the issue many times, trying to direct the government’s attention to the problem.
“Almost all the countries and big cities have about 5,000 square meters long exhibition halls,” Stepaynan said, stressing the importance of developing Armenia’s expo industry.
According to Martin Sargsyan, chairman of the RA Chamber of Commerce and Industry, an exhibition hall will be built in Yerevan’s Shengavit district soon.
Some companies are ready to make investments in the project, Stepanyan added.
The project’s feasibility study has shown construction of the new exhibition hall will cost some $12mln.
Touching upon local expo market, the director of the LOGOS EXPO Center said the best way to boost Armenian industry and economy is to promote them in the global market.
Established in 1999, the LOGOS EXPO Center is a leader in organizing sectoral, industrial, national and international exhibitions and congresses.
The center annually organizes 10-12 expos in Armenia and abroad. Around 1,000 local and overseas organizations and companies enroll in the exhibitions. –0--
