This tour provider has taken action to address one or more issues (whether environmental, social or cultural) which will contribute positively to the long term viability of the destination and hence their site displays a Caring for the destination rating.
Main area of focus in Caring for the Destination:
Right after the fall of Communism, Lake Sevan dropped below its minimum water level for irrigation and electricity.
Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative:
This has also brought up another problem. Too many trees have to be cut down, and so many roads have to be rebuilt. That is also a part of a major project from the government of Armenia to reconstuct roads and also to clean up the rising water from the trees.
NGOs have played a great role in bringing up this issue and succeeding to put this into government's projects.
Currently, the water levels have risen considerably and fish are thriving again in Lake Sevan once again!
