YEREVAN, July 10. /ARKA/. Tourists who wish to travel to Tatev of Armenia and take the advantage of Wings of Tatev ropeway can buy tickets in advance, through official website www.tatever.am, the press office of Initiatives for Development of Armenia (IDeA) reports.
This is the first ever website for Armenia tourism selling tickets online, director of Wings of Tatev Vahe Baghdasaryan said.
This tool is successfully used abroad, and our aim is to use the best international practices and help tourists better plan their time and enjoy their stay in Tatev, Baghdasaryan said.
In spring, the Wings of Tatev ropeway introduced SKIDATA international online ticketing system to offer services that comply with international standards.
Head of BigBek company that developed the website and introduced the online ticketing system Garik Giulasaryan said that the ticketing is integrated with SKIDATA and user is offered to pick the time and the hour, and the system then gives the choice available within the mentioned range.
The payment is made through a bank card, and banking software ensures the safety of trancactions, he said.
The official website of the ropeway has been modernized to provide visitors an opportunity not only to buy a ticket, but to get information about sights, events, hotels and guest houses.
The 5.7-kilometer-long aerial tramway, built by Austrian-Swiss Dopplemayer/Garaventa transports visitors from the village of Halidzor across the Vorotan gorge to the village of Tatev, within walking distance of the monastery, allowing tourists and visitors to bypass a 90-minute drive on a road in and out of the Vorotan River Gorge. The cable car travels at a speed of 37 kilometers per hour (23 miles per hour) and a one-way journey takes 11 minutes. At its highest point over the gorge, the car travels 320 meters (1,056 feet) above ground level. It has two cabins, each capable of carrying up to 25 passengers. The cable car is part of a $45 million-dollar public-private effort to develop tourism at Tatev and in the overall region of Syunik. The aerial tramway was officially registered by a representative of the Guinness World Records as the world’s longest aerial tramway built to transport visitors.
