Hiking Across Armenia, Helping Local Economies

Thousands of hiking trails exist in Armenia, but only a handful are easily accessible and even fewer are marked. ONEArmenia wants to change that with their new project called Hike Armenia. The project envisions not only marking hiking trails, but also developing a mobile app to provide information to potential hikers. Karine Vann of ONEArmenia spoke to Maria Titizian about Hike Armenia’s potential for ecotourism, supporting local economies and their crowdfunding campaign to raise funds needed to realize the project.
