DILIJAN REGIONAL TOURISM INFORMATION CENTER TO OPEN
NEXT TUESDAY
YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 10, ARMENPRESS: Tourism
Information Center in Armenia's most famous resort
town of Dilijan will open on November 14. The center's
development has been supported by USAID CAPS, in close
collaboration with the Dilijan Mayor's Office and the
Dilijan Tourism Association (DTA). The ceremony will
be followed by a quick tour of the Dilijan
improvements.
The establishment of the Tourism Information Center
is a major step in implementation of the Dilijan Pilot
Project launched by CAPS, as part of USAID Armenia's
tourism cluster strengthening and competitiveness
program. In March 2006, the Dilijan Pilot Project
began as a pilot site for the CAPS tourism development
project. Since then CAPS has trained local tourism
service providers to improve Dilijan as a tourism
destination.
The friendly, multilingual staff of the Information
Center will provide high quality customer service to
local and foreign visitors on accommodation,
attractions, and other tourist information in order to
make their stay in Dilijan more enjoyable.
To provide an experience to the tourists during
their stay in Dilijan and to support the
sustainability of the center, a new bicycle rental
enterprise will operate in Dilijan allowing visitors
to use the newly marked bike path. The Information
Center will also offer internet access to visitors for
a small charge.
By actively engaging local communities in a
commonly beneficial project, CAPS aims to achieve
sustainable, cluster-based (the tourism cluster
includes hotels, restaurants, tour operators, local
government and business associations - all
stakeholders) economic growth through communicating
the value of cluster competitiveness. The Dilijan
Pilot Project can become a model for other cities to
use in implementing low-cost, high-impact local
tourism development programs to benefit all
stakeholders.
