Kamchatka is one of the most favourable territories in the Far East for investors. The region ranks second among the Far Eastern regions and 13th among all Russian regions in the national investment attractiveness rating. There are many reasons for this: rich resources, opportunities that other Far Eastern regions do not have, and support programmes for local businessmen and investors. Tourism is a promising area for attracting investment, as Kamchatka is the most environmentally friendly region of the Far Eastern Federal District, and local natural attractions - volcanoes, geysers, thermal springs - are known all over the world.

The Magadan region is famous for its amazing sea and tundra landscapes, perfect fishing, delicious seafood, picturesque bays and secluded islands. This is where Russia's land roads end and the boundless sea expanses begin, and it is the only place in the country where you can legally mine gold and get rich.
