YEREVAN, September 1, /ARKA/. Zara Amatuni, a public affairs officer for Armenia’s National Competitiveness Fund, told a news conference earlier this week that German specialists from Ehrsam&Gottwald firm were hired to help conduct a study of tourist potentials of Armenia’s largest lake Sevan. She said the studies will be accomplished in two months. The ultimate goal is to build an alpine tourism center, she said.

She said the German specialists were conducting special studies currently that will be followed by preparing a business plan. In the second stage the focus will shift to attracting potential investors.

She also said journalists from several European countries, particularly, from UK, Germany, Italy, France, Russia and the USA, will visit Armenia to see its tourist potential.

The Euronews TV channel will run for two weeks a trailer advertising the longest cable road in the world that will take tourists to medieval monastery of Tatev in Armenia’s southern province of Syunik. On August 5 the government released over 93 million drams to tout the cable road, expected to open on October 16.

Construction of the cable road is part of a larger project, worth $45 million, designed to make the monastery a popular tourist destination. -0-
