Rural tourism is currently experiencing rapid development and every day more and more tourists prefer to enjoy their holidays in the countryside.
Armenia, in its turn, stands out with its unique nature, monuments and rural colour. Rural tourism has great potential to become one of the leading areas of tourism services in Armenia.
In order to promote the industry, the branch of German Nature Protection Union (NABU) in the Republic of Armenia and the ACBA Federation have been jointly implementing the ‘Rural Tourism Development’ programme since 2018. It aims to promote tourism development in rural communities in Armenia and gives local people new opportunities to create or develop their ideas in this field.
Within the framework of the project, a competition is announced and after winning, the applicant receives a grant for the implementation of their project.
