Welcome to the
Tourist Information Center's Web Site!
The Tourist Information
Center, a foundation, established on November 11, 1998, has been
carrying out the Tourist Information Service program.
At present the Center works on a new project, called Caucasus
Tourism Information System. Both projects received the financial
support from
United
States Agency for International Development (USAID) through the
Eurasia
Foundation.
A professional-quality web site is
normally the result of a closely-knit team. Ours is no exception. The web site
is principally operated by Mr. Karen Grigoryan, the chairman of the Center, who
also handled the design and graphics creation. Mr.
Frank O'Hara, a Volunteer Advisor from Canadian Executive Service
Overseas (CESO) handled the basic organization and development of the site and
the editing of the English. The Webmaster Hrachya Sahakyan handled technical
development of the site and other details. Hasmik Movsisyan composed the
content and handled the initial translation into English from Armenian and
Russian sources.
