Visitors to the exhibition “Russia” told about their interest in Primorye

The international exhibition-forum "Russia" at VDNKh during five holidays - from 3 to 8 January - was visited by almost a million people. Almost daily, about 30,000 people visited pavilion No. 75, where Primorsky Krai demonstrates its capabilities. The flow of people was constant, but the largest influx of people was observed from noon and somewhere until 18:00. Among the visitors, about half are residents of the capital, the rest are guests of the First See: business trips, vacationers and those who came specifically to the exhibition from neighboring regions. According to volunteers working at the regional stand, Primorye is still a distant and exotic region for tourists. Hence, questions are very different: about the topography of the city, the temperature in winter and summer, where you can swim and what are the beaches in the region, how long the swimming season lasts and what is the temperature of the water in the sea at this time. The most frequently asked question is the price of plane tickets.

" The cost of a ticket to Vladivostok is one of the most understandable. In the Far East, flat tariffs are set, and the price of the economy class does not change either from the load of the board or from the season. So, on the route Moscow-Vladivostok-Moscow flat tariff 28.4 thousand rubles. Subsidized ticket for age up to 23 years and women from 55 years, and men after 60 years will cost 14.8 thousand rubles. A subsidized ticket for the Far East in the same direction in the round trip will cost 20.4 thousand rubles. Flights are operated by the national air carrier, Aeroflot, on comfortable wide-body airliners. It's three movies, dinner or lunch, and you're on the other side of Russia. So traveling to Primorye is comfortable and quite inexpensive, explained Olga Gurevich, director of the tourist information center of Primorsky Krai (Visit Primorye).

But no one complained about the distance of the region and the duration. But no less actively interested in the opportunity during one trip to visit other regions of the Far East and China. The real surprise was caused by the views of winter Vladivostok: the bright sun in winter is so unusual for residents of a number of federal districts. Walking along the leopard trail, and there is now a winter theme, you can watch the life of the inhabitants of the national park “Land of the Leopard”. Here are the beauty of the island of Petrov. The video creates a sense of reality in these areas. As a result, the questions asked are whether these animals can be seen alive, how to visit this territory, whether you can get lost there in the forest, how to get to the islands, etc. There is a small category of future guests of the region who are ready to combine acquaintance with the beauty of the region and the history of Vladivostok with the purchase of the brainchild of the Japanese automotive industry. Therefore, the questions were about hotels, car markets and right wheel. A separate topic for the visitors of the stand was gastronomy. Here they were interested in everything: prices for food in shops and restaurants, what Primorye people eat at home and in cafes, what is worth trying and what can be brought as delicious gifts, whether there are many products from Asian countries in stores and whether something can be freely bought. Someone shared his impressions of getting acquainted with the Far Eastern gastronomy during a visit to the House of Russian Cuisine.

Potential guests of Primorye had an interest in event events. Someone was ready to adjust to them to come to the shores of the Golden Horn on vacation, and someone has already told about the purchased tickets for the summer and early autumn and actively clarified the possibilities of rest, the list of objects of visit and the opportunity to plunge into the festival atmosphere. " We tried to show a variety of Primorye: tourist, gastronomic, natural, investment. So that everyone, when visiting the stand, will find something special in our region and for themselves. We are glad that people ask a variety of questions, that is, they are openly interested in our region, make plans for a trip. By the way, these issues are an incentive to improve work, to exchange experience, to develop new projects. Primorye is always waiting for guests, regardless of holidays and seasons, said Olga Gurevich, Director of the Tourist and Information Center of Primorsky Krai (Visit Primorye) of Primorye.

International exhibition-forum "Russia" will work on the territory of VDNKh until April 12, 2024. Over the remaining time, Primorsky Krai will repeatedly declare itself in various events at exhibition events, including at gastronomic festivals. This year, the region intends to receive about 4 million guests. Work to promote and popularize Primorye continues.
