Local tourist initiatives usually encourage tourists coming to the lake also to visit the city of Sevan. In 2020, due to the coronavirus, there were almost no tourists in the city, although the previous year had been very busy. The main holiday season in the high-mountainous Sevan is summer: Sevan is the second highest freshwater lake in the world, after Titikaki, and it warms up slowly.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span>The main sites of Sevan are the Botanical Garden and the \u2018Mashtocner\u2019 Chapel. There are also ancient churches and a sculpture park in the city.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><strong>Friend on the way<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span>Mary Sedrakyan, representative of the Sevan Youth Club and coordinator of the EU \u2018Friend on the way\u2019 project, highlights the main issue with developing local infrastructure in the city and near the lake: \u201cThere is an issue with signs, which has always been especially acute \u2013 the lack of signs makes it especially difficult to get around.\u201d During the 30 years since Armenia\u2019s independence from the Soviet Union, no new street signs were installed in Sevan.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span>\u201cWe often met tourists who came to Sevan and couldn\u2019t figure out where to go. So we decided that we need to help them, so that people could find websites, hotels, information on where they are, and some tips on what they could see,\u201d says Mary Sedrakyan.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span>The \u2018Friend on the way\u2019 EU project helped to install 12 new street signs in the form of seagulls, which were chosen as a symbol of the city of Sevan. Seagull-shaped signs not only mark street names, but also point the way to the city\u2019s places of interest. The new signs also have QR codes, which allow anyone to learn more about the local attractions, and one sign is a tourist map that offers a whole range of routes to explore.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong class=\"node_view\"><\/strong>\n      <\/div>\n<div class=\"paragraph paragraph--type--image-block paragraph--view-mode--xml\">\n<div class=\"node__text\">\n<p><span><span><span>Additionally, a map with coloured symbols indicating the historical and cultural routes in the city was installed in one of the most popular tourist spots in Sevan, while a tourist information stand was set up near the Mayor\u2019s office.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span>The \u2018Friend on the way\u2019 project was made possible thanks to the \u2018EU for Culture: Strong Local Communities and Initiatives\u2019 programme and the partnership with the Institute for International Cooperation of the Association of German People&#8217;s Universities (DVV International).

The initial plan was to sell these postcards in popular tourist destinations, for instance, in the vicinity of the Sevan Peninsula. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the process had to be postponed.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span>\u201cUsually, tourists enjoy buying souvenirs and sending postcards to have keepsakes of their travels. Although nowadays we rarely send postcards, it remains a nice tradition. This is why we decided to create not just a postcard, but a kind of assistant.
