Moscow, November 20 (Xinhua) — Russia's Kamchatka Krai intends to expand cooperation with China and create new routes to attract Chinese tourists. Kamchatka Krai Tourism Minister Vladimir Rusanov told Xinhua, commenting on the recent signing of a memorandum of cooperation with the Department of Culture and Tourism of Jilin Province (northeast China).
He recalled that the document was signed on the sidelines of the 11th Northeast Asia Tourism Forum, which is taking place from November 17 to 20 in the Chinese city of Hunchun.
"We plan to further expand Kamchatka Krai's cooperation with China. The memorandum we signed with Jilin Province will allow Kamchatka tour operators to establish new business ties and attract additional Chinese tourists to the region," the minister said.
Kamchatka tour operators have offered their Chinese partners several new itineraries for unique photo tours, affordable vacation options, and personalized travel experiences, including jeep tours, volcano climbs, boat trips, helicopter excursions, and surfing.
Furthermore, the parties expressed their intention to strengthen cooperation in the field of security to protect the lives and property of tourists. "We are also working on launching direct flights from China to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. The new terminal at Yelizovo Airport opened in March of this year and is ready to welcome international tourists," added V. Rusanov.
Kamchatka is a peninsula in northeastern Russia, bordered by two seas and the Pacific Ocean. It is one of the most attractive regions of the Russian Federation for ecotourism. It is known for its national parks, nature reserves, and UNESCO World Heritage sites. There, you can admire active volcanoes, geysers, glaciers, unique black sand beaches, picturesque rivers, waterfalls, and lakes, bathe in healing hot springs, and encounter 126 species of endangered animals.
