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.

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.
