Ust-Avam, a remote settlement in the Taimyr Peninsula, is experiencing significant development. The opening of a new visitor center, constructed by Norilsk Nickel, marks a major milestone in this process. The complex, which includes a modern building and traditional yurts, aims to attract tourists and stimulate local economic growth.
The visitor center building, a residential module, and two traditional yurts create a unique atmosphere where modern conveniences blend harmoniously with ancient customs.
The opening of the visitor center is more than just another tourist attraction. It is a step towards preserving the unique culture of the indigenous peoples of the North, creating new jobs for local residents, and providing tourists with the opportunity to experience the pristine beauty of the Arctic and learn more about the lives of people who have preserved their traditions for centuries.
For the residents of Ust-Avam, the visitor center will not only be a place of employment but also a cultural and educational center. Here, they can hold various events, share their knowledge and skills with guests, and preserve and pass on the rich experience of their ancestors to the younger generation.
Ust-Avam is a living testament to the fact that tradition and modernity can coexist perfectly.
The construction of tourist infrastructure is part of a program to support the indigenous peoples of the North, which Norilsk Nickel has been implementing in Taimyr since 2020.
