ArmInfo. The longest reversible cable car in the world "Wings of Tatev" (5752 m) announces the launch of a special offer for schoolchildren and children in
orphanages, who are provided with free travel on the cable car. The
offer is valid from 25 August to 15 September inclusive.
According to the press service of IDeA, children will get an
indelible impression of the magnificent mountain landscapes,
panoramas of the Vorotan gorge, above which the cabins of the air
highway leading to the Tatev monastery complex soar.
On the eve of the celebration of the tenth anniversary of the "Wings
of Tatev" schoolchildren and children from orphanages will also be
able to visit one of the most famous spiritual, cultural and
educational centers in Armenia - the Tatev Monastery Complex (IX
century). "This will become not only an exciting journey and
wonderful leisure for schoolchildren, but also immersion in the
history, culture, religious and educational traditions of Armenia. To
increase domestic tourism, this year we are using various special
offers. So, in July we announced a special offer for visitors who
received 4 tickets for the price of 3. This in particular increased
the number of family trips to Tatev, "said Vahe Baghdasaryan,
director of Wings of Tatev.
The sharp decline in tourist traffic due to the coronavirus pandemic
this year requires additional funding from the founders to cover
operating costs. However, Wings of Tatev continues to fly and offer
attractive packages for passengers.
The Wings of Tatev cable car, entered in the Guinness Book of
Records, has been operating since 2010. It is one of the modern
attractions in Armenia, contributing to the development of local
infrastructure and stimulating both domestic and international
tourism. Over the past 10 years, about 1 million visitors have used
its services.
"Wings of Tatev" were built within the framework of the "Revival of
Tatev" program, which is also aimed at the restoration of the Tatev
monastery complex and the development of neighboring communities. The
aerial tram is an example of venture philanthropy in which the donor
does not expect a return on the money invested. The project generates
income from its own activities, which covers all operating costs. In
addition, the proceeds from the use of the tourism infrastructure are
used for the reconstruction of the Tatev Monastery, as well as
various community development initiatives.
The Tatev Revival program is implemented by the Tourism and Urbanism
Charitable Foundation (TUF), which since July 2020 has been
implementing all the tourism programs of the Initiatives for
Development of Armenia (IDeA) Foundation. The TUF program portfolio
also includes development projects for Dilijan, Gyumri, Artsakh and
Yerevan. The Foundation develops innovative programs in the fields of
tourism and urban development, contributing to sustainable regional
development and positioning Armenia in the world as a competitive
tourism destination. You can book a trip on "Wings of Tatev" by phone
