The Kamchatka Falconry Centre, a resident of the
Kamchatka Advanced Development Territory (ADT), and the Kamchatka Tourism
Industry Association (KTIA), which unites 59 companies in the region’s tourism
industry, signed a cooperation agreement that provides for the inclusion of the
Centre’s excursion programmes in the region’s eco-routes. The agreement was the
result of an earlier general meeting of KTIA members, which discussed the
development of the tourism industry in Kamchatka Territory.
“The cooperation
agreement signed today with KTIA will be a powerful stimulus for the
development not only of the Falconry Centre, but also of eco-tourism in the
region and Russia as a whole. This cooperation will provide an opportunity to
introduce guests to the amazing world of birds of prey and will become an
important tool for popularizing environmental culture and drawing attention to
nature conservation issues. Tourism, based on the principles of respect for the
environment, contributes to the formation of a careful attitude towards nature,” said
Kristina
Alekseeva,
Director of the Kamchatka Falconry Centre.
Thus, the document defines the
general principles of partnership, which opens wide opportunities for travel
companies to promote and organize visits to this unique site. In order to
simplify the interaction, a draft model agreement between travel agencies and
the Centre has been developed, taking into account all legal aspects. An important stage was the approval of the
tariffs for visits for individual travellers and organized groups, ensuring a
balance between the interests of both tourists and the Centre itself. Special
attention was paid to seasonality and its impact on the content of excursions,
which will allow to offer guests the most interesting and relevant programmes
depending on the time of year. Tourists
will have access to a detailed description of all the proposed excursions,
allowing them to get acquainted with the programme in advance and choose the
most suitable option. It is noted that group and individual visits, as well as
special programmes for school groups are available for tourists and residents
of the peninsula. In addition, regulations for visiting the Kamchatka Falconry
Centre have been developed and approved, ensuring bird safety and comfort for
all visitors.
“Active cooperation with
the Kamchatka Falconry Centre in 2025 will be an important step in the
development of eco-tourism in the region and will attract more tourists
interested in wildlife observation, as well as increase the visibility of
Kamchatka as an attractive eco-tourism destination internationally. KTIA member
tour companies will be key partners in creating new tourism products and
providing quality and safe service to our guests,” noted
Elena Lassal, Chairperson of KTIA.
The Kamchatka Falconry Centre was
established in 2017 in close cooperation with experts from Arab countries and
Russia, with the support of the Roscongress Foundation. The project is
implemented in accordance with order of the President of the Russian Federation
No. Pr-1991 dated 25 September 2019 and is aimed at rehabilitation,
conservation and introduction of rare species of hunting birds.
The investment platform of the
Roscongress Foundation – RC Investments – acts as a co-investor of the project,
creating conditions for scientific initiatives. Earlier in 2024, the
Roscongress Foundation and the Kamchatka Falconry Centre signed a cooperation
agreement with the Supreme Council for Ecology of the Kingdom of Bahrain. Under
this partnership, joint conservation initiatives, exchange of experience and
development of technologies for the conservation of rare birds of prey are
being implemented. Joint projects will be presented at international
venues, including the Eastern Economic Forum and the St. Petersburg
International Economic Forum. Tourism programmes of the Kamchatka Falconry
Centre will be presented at the Let’s Travel! Tourism Forum to be held in
Moscow at VDNKh on 10–15 June 2025.
According to the Far East and
Arctic Development Corporation (FEDC), residents of Kamchatka Territory are
implementing 148 projects, of which 53 have already been successfully put into
operation. Businesses have invested over RUB 91 billion in the region’s economy
and created jobs for over 9,600 residents of the region.
Residents of ADT have access to
reduced insurance premiums of up to 7.6% for 10 years, zero property and profit
taxes for the first 5 years, the possibility of obtaining land and
infrastructure support, application of the free customs zone procedure,
promotion of products and services, legal protection and other effective tools
for accelerated start-up and comfortable business operations.
