, the proportion of overseas visitors in all areas increased;

however

, in the mountains, it rose consistently,

while

, which was replaced by the

lakes

in 2002,

while

the mountains were the least widespread since 1992.

tourists

in the mountain area consistently grew from 20

thousand

to 35
