regional specialists. “Along with ski, beach and spa resorts, we
intend to offer our guests in the North Caucasus eco-tourism,” the
Deputy Director General, Rostislav Murzagulov, said today, ITAR-TASS
reports.

He recalled that as early as the coming winter the first cluster will
be built in Arkhyz and will include three hotels, a chairlift and two
ski slopes. "But by the end of the ski season we  will offer new
eco-tourist destinations for those who like to spend the summer in the
mountains," Murzagulov said.

resorts of world-class standards are planned to be built. The total
capacity of the cluster will amount to 150,500.
