    May 30 2006

    YEREVAN, MAY 30, NOYAN TAPAN. There are 10 hotels with a total
    of 400 beds in the cities of Stepanakert and Shushi, head of the
    tourism unit of the company Asbar (NKR) David Ishkhanian told
    NT correspondent. According to him, another 4 hotels will be put
    into operation in Mardakert, Gandzasar, Hadrut and Martuni within
    a year. He said that over the last 2-3 years, the annual number of
    tourists to the NKR has made 7-8 thousand, whereas 3 thousand tourists
    visited the republic in 2000. 85-90% of those visiting Karabakh
    are ethnic Armenians. 10% of tourists to Armenia visit Karabakh as
    well. D. Ishkhanian noted that the NKR is presented as a country of
    tourism abroad both through participation of tourist companies in
    various exhibitions and activities of NKR's representative offices
    in Russia, Australia, France, the US and Lebanon.

    According to him, Asbar and NKR's Tourism Development Agency on May
    11-14 took part in an international tourism exhibition in Moscow
    where they had their own pavilion "Nagorno Karabakh Republic". The
    Azerbaijani embassy in Russia sent a note of protest to the Russian
    Ministry of Foreign Affairs demanding that the pavilion's name be
    changed but to no avail. It is for the third time that the Armenian
    embassy in Lebanon has assisted the NKR with participation in an
    international exhibition of the Arab world tourism in Beirut. The
    NKR tourism sector was presented at the pavilion " Nagorno Karabakh
    Republic" there too.
