Main area of focus in Caring for the Destination:  

Support local youth through education.

Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative: 

AUA Barsam Suites is a not for profit foundation, which began in 2007 through the donation of the former HyBusiness Suites by the late social entrepreneur and AUAC Board Member - Vartkes Barsam, and his wife Hasmik.

Along with assistance from USAID funds, they were able to create not only a viable locally run commercial hotel, but also serve to help support students, visiting faculty, and various international students.

So, your stay at the AUA Barsam Suites contributes towards a scholarship fund, which goes directly support the many local American University of Armenia students.
