Creating a thriving Armenia through responsible travel

Journey into the unknown with 2492 Travel, Armenia’s new responsible travel brand created by us, ONEArmenia

Who We Are

ONEArmenia (1A for short) is a global community advancing responsible travel in Armenia’s tourism sector. Every year more travelers discover Armenia, but rural communities are not benefitting from the industry. Our mission is to make the country the #1 destination in the South Caucasus by incubating new experience-based travel products in rural Armenia that are responsible and showcase the country’s cultural intrigue.

What Is Experiential Travel?

Experiential travel is all about doing and learning, not just sightseeing as a tourist. It also benefits local communities – 66% of profit from experiences stays in local communities, compared to just 20-33% with other forms of tourism. That’s why we work to shift Armenia’s travel offering from sightseeing to travel experiences that give back positively to rural communities.

Our Values

  • Our experiences always involve local people in decisions that affect their lives, and engender respect between them and travelers through cultural sensitivity and learning.

  • We work to minimize the negative environmental impacts of our experiences as much as possible, and make positive contributions to the preservation and conservation of Armenia’s natural heritage.

  • Generating greater economic benefits for local people is and has been our bottom line since our start in 2012.

To make Armenia a better place to both visit and live in, we make sure that the experiences we incubate are sustainable and better for local people, safer for the planet, and generate greater profit for local economies.
