    Together with the USAID the park is planning to lay two routes for
    ecotourists, provide special areas for picnics, build recreation
    sites and bridges, Davtyan told journalists.

    The staff of the park ahs already developed eight routes for
    ecotourists; total length of two of them is 8-9 kilometers, Davtyan
    said adding that special information bulletins have also been issued.

    national park to study where in the national park ecotourist routs
    could be developed.
