Meeting with the Rector of the Armenian State Institute of Physical Culture and Sport
On January 23, 2020, we met with Davit Khitaryan, acting rector of the Armenian State Institute of Physical Culture and Sport (ASIPCS), who presented the progress of work toward introducing a “sports tourism” specialization at the institute.
Davit Khitaryan presented certificates of appreciation to representatives of mountaineering and mountain tourism for their active coaching and teaching work, for promoting the ideas of a healthy lifestyle, for engaging young people and for developing a healthy lifestyle among children and teenagers. Our organization also received a certificate.
After the meeting, we visited the ASIPCS museum and explored exhibits about the university, Armenian sport and the Olympic movement.
“Sports tourism should have a special place among the strategic programs for developing tourism in Armenia. To meet the demand for specialists in this field, our university will introduce ‘sports tourism’ and the related ‘rescue work’ specializations. In this work, we expect the support of the leading representatives of the field — that is, you. In that case, we will be able to organize both the theoretical and practical components of the educational process at the Armenian State Institute of Physical Culture and Sport more effectively,” said the acting rector.
