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.

Most people know that Armenia is a small country. A few know, that it is an ancient country. But only few are aware of what an amazing diversity of historical monuments and breathtaking landscape this sunny, beautiful and hospitable country has. The aim of TIC is to present the unique historical and cultural wealth of Armenia to as many people as possible, to serve as a rich source of all kinds of Armenian travel information.

The Tourism Armenia Web Site is the official Web Site of the TIC. It was shaped in April 1999 and covers information on historic and other sites of Armenia, on principal events, entertainment, services available, tours, tour operators and much more. You will find airline specials, various accommodation styles, restaurants, transportation, car rental and other useful information for people who wish to make their own travel arrangements. If you want an expert advise on how to make your trip to Armenia most meaningful, as well as how to take advantage of low prices and yet realize good value for the money spent, TIC will direct you to reputable local tour operators.

The obvious objective of our web site is to provide authoritative information for people, planning a visit to our country. Our wish is to make it quick and easy for travelers to access the information relevant to them. We promise to keep our information current and helpful. We welcome any comments and suggestions.

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.
