Moscow opens new tourist information centers

The head of the tourism development department of the Committee for Tourism and Hotel Industry of Moscow told our portal about plans to develop tourism infrastructure in the capital

To ensure the most comfortable stay of foreign guests in Moscow, the city authorities are actively working on the creation of tourist information centers (TICs).

The first TIC was opened two years ago in the lobby of the Historical Museum. According to Alexander Kolesnikov, head of the tourism development department of the Committee for Tourism and Hotel Industry of Moscow, he has already gained popularity among tourists.

This year, tourist information centers appeared at the stations - at Kievsky (just opposite the entrance) and Belorussky (near the ticket offices of international destinations). In the near future, it is planned to open a TIC at the Leningradsky and Paveletsky railway stations.

In addition, this week there will be a tourist information center at Vnukovo airport. It will be located in Terminal A, at the exit of the international arrivals hall.

« Tourist information centers are designed not only to inform, but also to give recommendations on visiting the most interesting places in the capital, to help tourists navigate the city, to provide all kinds of support in case of any emergency.

Tourist information centers are small pavilions where consultants who speak foreign languages ​​are ready to help guests of the capital. Also, guides and guidebooks translated into English are placed on special trays, and convenient tourist maps will be added to them in the near future.All printed materials are distributed absolutely free of charge - and this is the main difference between our TIC and Western ones, ”- said Mr. Kolesnikov.

The committee plans to open tourist information centers at Domodedovo and Sheremetyevo airports, as well as place them on the streets of the city, in particular, on the Old Arbat and at the ticket office of the Grand Kremlin Palace.

In addition, there are so-called interactive tourist information centers, which are specially designed touch screens. They are installed in the Izmailovo hotel complex and in the Cosmos hotel, and will soon appear in five more Moscow hotels, including Aerostar, Golden Ring, InterContinental Moscow Tverskaya.

Interactive TICs perform the same functions as regular ones. Tourists can not only search for information, use an interactive map and build routes of interest to them on it, but also, if necessary, contact a tourist call center employee and communicate with him orally.

“We plan to install at least 30 interactive tourist information centers in hotels. In general, by 2016 we intend to open 46 centers of various types in Moscow,”- said Alexander Kolesnikov.

Georgy Mokhov, Deputy Chairman of the Committee for Tourism and Hotel Industry of Moscow, added that the interest of the guests of the capital in tourist information centers is great, for example, free printed materials are simply “swept away” from the shelves. Foreign travelers are helped to find the TIC by specially hired volunteers who work in places with the maximum concentration of tourists. In addition, pylons with a map of the city were installed in Moscow, which also indicated how to get to the information centers. ">

“The opening of the TIC, the distribution of guidebooks and maps, the use of interactive methods for delivering information, the development of mobile applications, the launch of the Moscow tourism portal and a specialized tourism call center - all this is aimed at creating a civilized information space in the city.

Almost all people love to travel. New places, new experiences, new acquaintances. Someone flies by plane, someone travels by train, someone likes to travel on the roads by car. Someone draws information for traveling on the Internet, someone buys guidebooks, and someone travels at random as savages.

But not everyone knows that information about cities and sights can be obtained from TICs - tourist information centers that have opened throughout the country.

The Tourist Information Center is a service that provides information about local tourism products, attractions, historical values ​​of the region, events, sightseeing routes, transport, shopping, entertainment and more. TICs can also sell tickets for local public transport, sell or distribute tourist materials for free - maps, booklets, local history and historical literature, etc. They can also sell souvenirs, products of local artisans, craftsmen, and artists.

See how upsya I am glad that they tell him about Smolensk for free.))

But seriously, the TIC is a great tool for tourism. It's just that not everyone knows how to use it. Our friends from Smolensky Terem in Smolensk told us how to use these services. First, find the TIC in the city you need. Then go to their website, find the address, and then boldly go to the city you have chosen. With the support of TIC you will save both money and time, and get a lot of useful tourist information. For example, many TICs have contracts with hotels and hostels, and they provide discounts on accommodation.

Once again, in TIC you for free you can get expert advice on the tourism potential, booklets about the sights of the region, tourist maps "Mobile guide" and a tourist passport, which contains information about the main museums, hotels, food places, cinemas and shopping centers, as well as about events taking place in the city and region. And yet, you have the opportunity to order both group and individual sightseeing and thematic excursions, purchase memorable souvenirs and books.

In Smolensk, for example, you can contact the Smolensk Terem. There is a great team that will tell you about the sights of the city and the region. In general, if you decide to travel around the country, keep in mind that the tourist information centers will always help you.

Babaevsky district is located in the west of the Vologda region, on the Mologo-Sheksninskaya lowland. This is the second largest district of the Vologda region. The district center Babaevo is located 292 km from Vologda, 567 km from Moscow, 399 km from St. Petersburg. According to one version, the name of the city goes back to the old Russian male name Babai: that was the name of a peasant who founded one of the nearby villages in the 17th century. This name, presumably of Turkic origin, meant "respected person", "old man", "grandfather". That is why Babai in his native land is portrayed as an old man with a beard. The first written mention of the settlements of the region is found in the "Spiritual Letter" of Dmitry Donskoy, compiled in 1389. Excavations carried out in the 1960s showed that about 1000 years ago Finno-Ugric peoples lived here, and then the Slavs came from the Rostov and Novgorod lands. What to see in the Babaevsky district The undoubted pride of the district is the "Stone Mountain", located on the territory of the city - a natural monument, where the sanatorium of the same name is located. The mountain of glacial origin is a large hill 25-30 m high with outcrops of carbonate limestones. The stone tract is covered with a high pine forest and is surrounded on three sides by the valley of the Kolp River. There is a hostess at the Stone Mountain who will guide everyone through the pine forest, tell local legends and lead to a magic stone that will help fulfill wishes. The nature of the Babaevsky region will attract lovers of ecotourism. In the landscape reserve "Koloshma forest" individual trees are about 250 years old. Among other natural objects are the reserves "Smorodinka", the "Khazovo" tract, and "Keys". It is not for nothing that Babaevo is called the "land of blue lakes" - among the natural monuments there are three lakes: Chernoye, Kodozero and Bolshoye. Kodozero became the winner of the competition of tourist sites "Vologda Region: Treasures of the Russian North - 2016". The Ivoda River, which flows on the territory of the Vepsian rural settlement, is also unusual. Not far from the village of Sloboda, the riverbed goes underground and flows underground for about a kilometer, and then the water reappears on the surface. On the territory of the district there are 24 protected swamps, which are valuable berry lands where cranberries, cloudberries, blueberries grow. A visit to the Babaevsky district is unthinkable without a walk through the ancient estate "Khvalevskoye" in the village of Borisovo-Sudskoye. The main building of the estate was built in the 1850s by Nikolai Kachalov, leader of the nobility of the Belozersky district. After 1917, the building housed a school, a hospital, and a boarding school. In the early 90s, it was abandoned and began to collapse. In 2009, the estate was bought by the descendants of Kachalov Yuri and Vera Voitsekhovsky-Kachalov, and from that moment the revival of the estate began. Near the estate there is a park, which is a natural monument of regional significance. What to do in the Babaevsky District The Babaevsky Center of Traditional Folk Culture holds master classes in creating amulets, weaving, embroidery, wood carving, weaving from birch bark, pine root, wood chips. The highlight of the Babaevsky district is the production of ceremonial pastries - you can learn this at a master class on making rye roe or nahamok cookies. Roe deer had a symbolic meaning: some figures symbolized fertility, others helped to attract health, prosperity and good luck in business. In the Veps settlement, guests will be able to take part in the most catchy fishing trips on numerous local lakes. Fans of gastronomic tourism should not miss the opportunity to try local culinary masterpieces, including sorrel and nettle soups, fish soup, zagusta, oatmeal with cranberries, malt porridge, oatmeal jelly, pirgi, kurniki and rybniki. Events in the Babaevsky District The brightest and most spectacular events in the Babaevsky District take place in the spring and summer. The interregional Vepsian holiday "Tree of Life" is held once every two years on the banks of the Kodozero in the Pyazhozero rural settlement in early August. The regional festival "People's Herbalist" annually on the third Saturday of July gathers healers and herbalists on the territory of the "Khvalevskoye" estate, who present their healing collections and reveal the secrets of medicinal skill. In the village of Toropovo, Babayevsky district, at the end of May, the holiday "Country of the Folk Doll" is held. Welcome to Babaevsky district!
