Business Success Formula:
By working on mistakes to strive for perfection

Guest housing and accommodation business plays an important role in the development of tourism business. Living in one of the beautiful places of Armenia-in Haghpat, I have started to develop this branch of business.
The guest house was established in 2014, and I have named it “Edem” (Eden), the name stands for it essence. In the beginning there were many difficulties, they are still, but they only encourage me and make me move forward. It is difficult to develop a business in Armenia, especially in a region. But I realize that overcoming each difficulty leads to the beginning of new success.
When I learnt about the “Social and Economic Empowerment of Women in Armenia” project implemented by Armenian Young Women’s Association (AYWA) and European Union, decided to participate and to develop my professional knowledge in the business sphere.
The participation in the Project trainings gave many advantages to me: I got acquainted with business women, the exchange of experience with whom gave the desired outcome. I got in-depth knowledge on business management policy, trends and prospects.
Thanks to the project I presented my business plan, which was approved by the committee and I received a grant. Thanks to this now I can host a great number of tourists. Apart from hosting tourists, I also organize hiking to Haghpat, Akhtala, Dsevanq and to other sights of the region. We also have bicycles, and we also organize biking and hiking. Next to the guest house I own a land where I grow crops and make Armenian traditional meals for my guests. For near future I plan to offer camping services, which has a high demand among extreme lover tourists.
