Mayor's office of Armenia's Tsaghkadzor to make town year-round
tourist destination, newspaper says
YEREVAN, February 15. ARKA/. Mayor's office of Armenian Tsaghkadzor is
planning to promote the town as an all year-round tourist destination,
the mayor Artur Harutiunyan told Sobesednik Armeniyi newspaper.
Tsaghkadzor is ready to host up to 5,000 people every year,
Harutiunyan said. There are 30 hotels, as well as houses and
apartments for rent in the town, but they are not enough for
organizing services in a proper way, according to the mayor.
`Hence, we have elaborated a town development program that envisages
opening of leisure and entertainment centers to enable tourists not
only relaxing, but also enjoying their time and playing sports',
Harutiunyan said.
He also reported plans to create a recreational park and build a
ropeway to it from Kecharis monastery complex. The park will be
located on a hill and will have the entire required infrastructure.
`We have also considered tourists' suggestions and wishes and will try
to fulfill them', Harutiunyan said.
The mayor informed that the town hall developed a system of discounts
to attract tourists anytime and any season.
`Spending holidays in Tsaghkadzor will become affordable to all social
groups', he promised.
Tsaghkadzor (`valley of flowers') is one of the most popular and
oldest resorts in Armenia. The town gained in popularity among skiers,
after a new 4.5-kilometer long ropeway was built on the slope of
Teghenis mount (2,900m).
Tsaghkadzor is considered to be also a cultural tourism center with
its Kecharis monastery complex consisting of four churches and two
chapels. -0-
