The branding effort complements USAID’s tourism development goals by positioning Armenia on the world map and generating awareness about the country as a place to visit and invest. Partners are confident a strong brand and effective messaging will significantly benefit Armenia by communicating Armenia’s unique opportunities to potential tourists and investors, and distinguishing the country among its competitors.
