Tourism Regional Forum (TRF) 2026 in Dilijan, Armenia
ARC Managing Director Davinia Galea recently participated in the Tourism Regional Forum (TRF) 2026 in Dilijan, Armenia hosted by Green Rock, from the 9th-11th October 2026.
The conference brought together representatives from tourism, hospitality, investment, culture, and urban development.
This year’s TRF focused on the theme “Destinations Built to Last.” Around 250 participants, including industry leaders and professionals, discussed how cities and tourism destinations can develop while creating long-term value for residents, businesses, and the wider economy.
Davinia participated in the panel discussion titled “Culture as Part of a City’s Identity and International Profile” moderated by Martin Tovmasyan, Development Director of the Armenian State Symphony Orchestra. Fellow panel members included Katia Bredikhina, Director of Green Rock Foundation, Marie-Automne Peyrène, member of the Nice City Council and the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolitan Council; and Linus Roth, violinist and founder and Artistic Director of Festival Ibiza Conciertos.
The discussion explored culture not only as part of a tourism offering, but also as an essential component of a city’s identity, development, and international profile. This approach aligns with Dilijan’s ongoing development.
