Participating Countries

The role of science and formation in the creation, the studying, the reservation and the transmission of the heredity to the generations is rather important. The Armenian Institute of Tourism is the constant partner of the Ministry of Culture of Republic of Armenia, in a number of spent enterprises in the sphere of the heredity. We are impressed by expansion of geographical borders of the competition “The International Heritage Photographic Experience’’ and we welcome the annual custom of work of the Ministry of Culture with various educational establishments. We estimate highly the role of the inheritance especially in the process of the youth becoming, and joining with special enthusiasm to the 2009 year-release of the competition IHPE. We assume with pride the honor to present Armenia at this review. Photographing today is a widely accessible but rather individual sphere of art. It reveals the secrets which probably cannot be noticed at first glance. The photo-shots presented in this catalogue are taken by students of our institute, and are chosen from the photo-exhibition "Armenia: the Ancient country of astrology" devoted to the international day of monuments and sightseeing photographing. Way we have tried also to participate to the international Astrology-year events and have presented the astrological inheritance of our country. Thanking all participants and organizers of this project.
