of Armenia.
Elite Group company purchased the hotel located 50km of Yerevan as
a semi-constructed building in 2006. Currently, the holiday center
occupies 60,000sq.m. and consists of 8 wings. Besides, it has bowling
center, pool, tennis court, etc. $5mln was invested in the hotel.
"Previously, Abovyan used to be an industrial region with numerous
plants. After the USSR collapse, many plants were shut down, resulting
in job reduction. The region's social and economic development is
of keen importance. Currently, the region's development is largely
based on tourism, as a result of which tens of hotels and rest houses
have been constructed there," the Prime Minister said, adding that
European-class hotels are constructed in Kotayk region, what will
stimulate international tourism.
PM Sargsyan also noted that the investments in the region are very
effective. "It is important that the guarantees provided to Elite Group
company as part of the anti-crisis policy have justified themselves,"
he concluded.
