14:58 29.08.2014
On August 29, AMAP Human Development NGO organized a sneak preview of
the Black Sea Silk Road Corridor (BSSRC) Project web portal and app at
the Erebuni museum. Participants included U.S. Ambassador to Armenia
John Heffern, Head of USAID/Armenia Karen Hilliard, and supporters and
colleagues of the AMAP NGO.
The presentation highlighted an important milestone in AMAP's work on
the Black Sea Silk Road Corridor and the development of 21st century
social technologies to promote tourism in the local communities. The
public presentation of the web portal and the app will be held in
November 2014.
Funded by the United States Agency for International Development
(USAID) and the European Union (EU), AMAP is the leading organization
in the Black Sea Silk Road Corridor project, a two year initiative
between five partners in Armenia, Georgia, Turkey and Greece. The
project fosters cross-border cooperation and economic development in
more than 173 communities along the corridor.
In addition to physically marking the corridor with signs and panels,
AMAP is creating a companion web portal and six smart-phone apps. For
the first time, visitors to this amazing region will have the IT tools
to self-navigate, visit cultural and natural sites and enjoy the
hospitality of local B&Bs, guest houses, craft artisans and other
essential services. Embedded within the apps are social networks and
SnapShot photos, an instant picture messenger.
Critical to the Project is the connection that is being built across
borders to connect tourists to local communities.With
multi-dimensionalinformation about each site on the corridor combined
with access to local services, financial resourcesare brought into
local (often rural) communities.
Other sponsors include the EU-Black Sea Cross Border Cooperation, the
Honorary Consul for Italy in Gyumri, the Armenian Travel Bureauand
Arminco Communications.
