Ararat (Dvin site)

• Location:
Dvin site is located in the municipalities of Verin Artashat and Hnaberd, within the Ararat Province.

• Current Situation & Needs:
Tourism in Dvin is currently underdeveloped, with limited local accommodation facilities. The site faces significant conservation challenges, including a high risk of structural degradation in its mud-brick and earth structures, coupled with a limited understanding of its topography and stratification.

• Project Interventions:
The project aims to launch training programs and establish family-based tourism structures to boost local tourism income and engage resident families in tourism-related economic opportunities. Conservation efforts prioritize the establishment of an on-site museum, and enhancing tourist paths, site interpretation, archaeological structures, and the historical library of the excavation house.
