Tavush region, with its values, nature, historical heritage and modern ideas, has great potential in the tourism sector. We talk about the current problems, development trends and prospects in this sector at the TavushTV pavilion with Sos Khachikyan, Chairman of the Board of the Tavush Region Tourism Development Agency, and Ani Hovhannisyan, Head of the Tourism Component of “Go To Dili” Company.

From the capital Yerevan to the village of Norashen in Tavush to see and experience real life as it is. Garik Paytyan and Esther Zakaryan left Yerevan with all its prospects and moved to the village of Norashen in Tavush province, aiming to use their knowledge, strength, and energy to help develop their community.
Garik studied at the Cartography and Cadastral Department of YSU, and Esther at the International Relations Department of YSU.

Monotonous or interesting and diverse life

“I have always considered myself a patriot, but when my husband talked about moving to the village, I never imagined myself in the village and this was a big and difficult challenge for my patriotism. Once, when we were not yet married, Garik asked me if I wanted an ordinary monotonous life or an interesting and diverse one, and I naturally chose the latter and decided to move to the village of Norashen in Tavush region and spend our lives here in an interesting way.

I don’t know if it is motivation or not, but with this step we sincerely wanted to change something in our country for the better, to the best of our ability and maybe more, and we also want to be an example for those people who imagine their future only by moving from the village, we want to succeed in the village with our work and life and show that it is possible to live in the village, work, not be bored and enjoy life to the fullest.”
