The results of the “Tourism: A Life’s Work” award were announced in Moscow. RussiaDiscovery founder and CEO Vadim Mamontov was named a laureate in the category “For Personal Contribution to the Development of Adventure Tourism in Russia.”

The awards were presented at a gala ceremony held at the Oktyabr Cinema, according to RATA News. More than one hundred nominees were recognized across 18 categories, with over 5,000 people taking part in the voting.

“The award was made possible thanks to our community of partners, with whom we have been creating and improving travel products for many years—and have personally covered hundreds of kilometers of routes. And, of course, thanks to the entire RussiaDiscovery team, where, I’m sure, many can say that tourism is their life’s work as well. Thank you, colleagues!” said Vadim Mamontov.
