On November 1, 2001 Varyag passed through the Istanbul Strait in 5 hours 55 minutes, and on November 2, 2001 she passed through the Canakkale Strait (the Dardanelles) in 1 hour. Total cost of these passages was US$ 1,440, pilots, 250 staff and 27 crafts, 6 of which were active, operated during these passages. The Chinese Government had also promised to Turkey to send 2,5 million tourists. Even though it has been 5 years since the Chinese Government granted Turkey the status of Official Tourism Destination, the number of Chinese tourists visiting Turkey is around 140,
