a 40% growth in comparison with last year, according a tourism
official.
Speaking to Tert.am, the head of the NKR Government's Tourism

and encouraging for the country.
`In comparison with these months of last year, tourism can be said to
have grown by 40% in Artsakh,' he said, adding that the trend is
likely to continue.
Asked what tempts tourists into visiting Artsakh, he said they most of
all praise the local population's hospitality.
`People remain content with the local residents' treatment and say
they are very affable to them,' he noted.
As for the most popular tourist attractions, Shahverdyan said that the
guests commonly prefer to visit the Gandzasar Monastery, the ancient
capital Tigranakert (which was excavated recently), the Aras valley
and other historical sites.
According to him, the country now has 33 places of rest, including
hotel complexes and tourist cottages.
