New ways to improve financial literacy offers the Tourist Information Center of Primorye

Financial marathon "On the financial wave" was held in Vladivostok. The purpose of the event is a comprehensive increase in financial literacy and the formation of a financial culture in the region. Its participants were residents of the city of different ages, as well as students of secondary school No6 with in-depth study of individual subjects, on the basis of which this marathon was held. The event is socially significant, because the ability to properly allocate funds is the basis for life stability and well-being. Representatives of financial institutions – the Ministry of Finance of the Primorsky Territory, the Bank of Russia, Sberbank, as well as other speakers spoke about the main parameters of financial literacy for the younger generation, as well as how not to fall for the tricks of fraudsters. By the way, the rationality of income and spending will allow you to plan travel. Specialists of the Interdistrict Inspectorate of the Federal Tax Service for the Primorsky Territory informed the audience about the tax on professional income (I am self-employed) and fictitious registration. This should be taken into account, for example, guides-interpreters, guides, guides who illegally offer their services, work in the shadows, avoid mandatory certification.  

At the "Financial Marathon" Tourist Information Center of Primorsky Krai (Visit Primorye) held an intellectual game "First Entrepreneurs of Primorsky Krai", developed as part of the marathon. The game is aimed at deepening knowledge and historical facts about the first entrepreneurs of Vladivostok and Primorsky Krai through an interactive quiz. The game touches on the themes of apartment houses, who were their owners, where they are located, when the first and most successful entrepreneurs of Primorye were born.

The task before us is to interest the younger generation to study the tourism industry, and by integrating into the educational process, game elements allow to more interest and show young people that science is interesting, modern. The game immersed the children in different historical eras of the city and helped to get acquainted with the economic side of the tourist industry, said Anastasia Povetkina, Deputy Head of the Tourist and Information Center of the Primorsky Territory (Visit Primorye)

The game was quite interesting. It introduces us to the entrepreneurial history of our city, tells about many interesting places, introduces us to both geography and logistics located inside the city, which allows us to learn something new. Ordinary buildings, which we see every day, open from a new side after I played this game, — expressed his impressions of the game tenth grader of school No6 Mikhail Kuzminin.

Earlier, the intellectual game “First Entrepreneurs of the Primorsky Territory” was held at the lecture classes of the sixth stream of the “Young Guide School” and in Vladivostok School No. 22 as part of gastronomic lessons conducted by the Tourist Information Center of the Primorsky Territory.

I liked the game. It was interesting to learn a lot about my city. I learned about people whose names, fates and projects are related to the history of entrepreneurship in Vladivostok and Primorsky Krai. I found out who owns the trading houses on Svetlanskaya Street, shared her thoughts marathon participant, freshman of Vladivostok Shipbuilding College Valeria Rodina.
