Applications for participation in the second All–Russian competition for the best trip "Far East - Land of Adventures" will begin in May, Deputy Prime Minister and Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev told reporters.
"Now there is a turn towards active travel. We see this in the framework of the Far East – Land of Adventure competition. This is not just a visit to the Far Eastern territories, but also an opportunity to test yourself in other conditions," the Deputy Prime Minister said. - A person is faced with the fact that it is necessary to make a fire, put up a tent, calculate their strength to overcome a route associated with hiking, skiing, or any other load. First of all, a person becomes more confident in himself, becomes stronger. Secondly, movies and photographs are not the same as seeing nature with your own eyes. During the journey, a person himself hears the sound of water, feels the smell of herbs. I have always believed that recreation should be active."
According to Trutnev, the increase in the number of tourists coming to the Far East is not a percentage, but at times. The leaders are Primorsky Region and Kamchatka, where the number of travelers has tripled.
The Far East – Land of Adventures competition is being held on the initiative of Deputy Prime Minister Trutnev as part of the fulfillment of the instructions of the President of the Russian Federation on the development of domestic tourism. The prize fund of the competition, the jury of which will determine more than ten winners, is 7.2 million rubles.
The main prize is 3 million rubles.
The competition is held in three categories – "walking trip", "water trip" and "winter trip". This year, activities in the nominations have been expanded. For example, cycling routes in the wild will also be evaluated in the framework of the "walking trip" nomination, underwater travel and surfing will be evaluated in the framework of the "water trip" nomination, and video reports on winter cycling routes and snowboarding can be sent to the "winter trip" nomination.
To participate in the competition, you must submit an application on путешественникДВ.рф website, notify the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, go to any region of the Far East, and then send a video about your trip.
Children from the age of ten can take part in the competition, but under the guidance of adults, as well as adults themselves, for whom there is no age limit. The trip must be made in the period from September 1, 2022 to December 30, 2024 on the territory of one or more regions of the Far East.
The best videos will be selected by the jury members, which included polar explorer Matvey Shparo, Arctic traveler Bogdan Bulychev, TV presenters Valdis Pelsh and others.
