The regional group of tourism sector service providers will be
in Armenia on exchange visit to discover the beauty of Armenia,
the potential for developing rural tourism, as well as learn the
specifics of Armenian rural tourism from Armenian tourism service
providers and travel agencies who will be sharing with the visitors
their best practice and skills. The exchange visit to Armenia will
start on 17 June and will end on 20 June 2014. The regional group will
be visiting touristic attractions of Armenia starting from Ararat marz
getting to Vayots Dzor and Syunik marzes of Armenia. The group will
be visiting and admiring such touristic treasures of Armenia as Khor
Virap, Aghavnadzor, Tatev, Vorotan, Ukhtasar, Jermuk, Lake Sevan etc.
The PIRT project is directed at supporting regional cooperation and
cross border partnerships for economic and social development in four
Black Sea Basin countries (Armenia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Georgia) based
on combined resources through creation of rural tourism networks in
order to promote joint tourism development initiatives and traditional
products.
In the framework of the project, a network of trained and capable
local service providers in rural tourism and travel agencies will be
established which will develop and sell a unique touristic product
Single Cross-border Visitor package (SCBV package). The SCBV package
will increase the inter-flows of visitors on the regional level and
contribute to unprecedented cooperation between national authorities
in the region and intra-country, aimed ultimately to sustaining the
cross-border impacts of rural tourism.
PIRT is co-financed by the European Union in the amount of 472,923.43
EURO through the European Neighborhood and Partnership Instrument. The
project began in November 2013 and its duration is 18 months.
