Consulting Services for the Expertise of Projects under the Tourism and Regional Infrastructure Project (TRIP)

TRIP-CQS-EX-01

Background

The Tourism and Regional Infrastructure Program (TRIP) aims to promote Armenia’s tourism potential through targeted infrastructure investments and soft interventions in several regions of the country. The Program will support seven out of the twenty identified tourism clusters: Areni, Yeghegis, Jermuk, Dvin, Gyumri, Dilijan, and Goris, focusing on wine, wellness, adventure, cultural, educational, and ecotourism across the regions of Ararat, Vayots Dzor, Shirak, Aragatsotn, Tavush, and Syunik. The Program will contribute to improving access to tourism clusters and developing infrastructure at tourist destinations. It also aims to make more effective use of Armenia’s natural resources and human capital by enhancing the business and professional skills of residents in neighboring communities, with a view to maximizing the potential for job creation. In addition, the Program is aligned with the World Bank’s approach to attracting private investment in these tourism clusters. The objective of the Program is to improve access to climate-resilient infrastructure and increase tourism’s contribution to the local economy in the clusters supported by the Program.
