“One of the award’s key contributions is its support for new travel brands emerging across the country. Behind each of them stands the work of dozens—sometimes hundreds or even thousands—of people. Recognition, even at the nomination stage, is already a significant achievement and a great source of motivation to keep developing these projects. And the greatest reward for all participants is seeing this year’s nominees and winners become part of our travel plans for the year ahead,” says Vadim Mamontov.
The ceremony took place at the Hotel Continental in Moscow. The award, presented by Russian Traveler magazine, was held for the second time, with more than 3 million people taking part in the voting this year.
