    Itinerary & Inclusions 16 days Vladivostok to Moscow *Inclusive* Destination Vladivostok to Moscow (Year-Round) Travel Dates 16 Days - Starts Wed, Fri, Sun from Vladivostok Page 1 of 9 Day 1 Vladivostok Vladivostok (“Ruler-Of-The-East”) was historically Russia’s principle Pacific-Coast port. Before the days of the Trans-Sib, there was almost no communication between the European and Asian ends of Russia, and the only transportation was by ship through the Arctic in summer. Vladivostok is a small but charming city with a slightly non-Russian atmosphere – the “sea-side” location, pleasant climate, and proximity to Japan and Korea lend it a cheerfully cosmopolitan character. It is, however, a small town, and sightseeing is fairly limited. Nightlife and eating-out is not, though – the city prefers its pleasures in large portions! Airport to Hotel Arrive Vladivostok On arrival at Vladivostok Airport a local representative will be waiting for you on the platform. Private car transfer to your accommodation. Primorye Hotel 1 x Standard Room with breakfast, includes late check out Check In: Day 1 Check Out: Day 2 Day 2 Vladivostok City Tour Walking - 3 hours Start: 10:00am You will be met in the hotel reception by your English speaking guide.

  • Trans Manchurian Railway Journey Tour
    Amazing Journeys - RUSSIA, CHINA 18 the Trans Manchurian Railway Journey For those who travel for the pleasure of the journey, those who believe that getting there is as much fun as being there, Russia's Trans-Machurian Railway has long been an almost mythic experience. A great part of the pleasure of such a trip is simply sitting back and watching the world go by. However, most travellers on the Trans-Siberian find that interaction with other passengers, both Russians and tourists, is what makes the trip an unforgettable experience. The fabled Trans-Siberia rail journey itself takes seven nights and ends eight time zones away from its beginning. To bring real perspective, consider that this is the longest continuous rail line on earth, each run clattering along in an epic journey of almost 10,000 kilometers…stretching across more than one third of the globe. This journey is a unique opportunity to travel to a place far from your daily world. You will learn a lot about the Russian soul, Manchurian history and Chinese culture. 19 Amazing Journeys - RUSSIA, CHINA 14 Days 13 Nights Vladimir Kirov Perm Tumen 2 Nizhny Moscow Novgorod Yekaterinaburg Novosibirsk Irkutsk Omsk Taishet Ulan-Ude Lisvyanka Chita Zbaikalsk Manchuria Harbin Beijing 2 Shen Yang Day 01 Arrive Moscow Kirov, (located on the Vyatka River .

Abstract: The problems of preserving the natural environment are relevant for unique natural complexes of territories, such as the Baikal region (Russia). There are few studies devoted to forecasting the green economic development of the eco-socio-economic system of the Baikal region. The previous studies are mainly dedicated to the theory of forming the green economy in the Baikal region. This study aimed to forecast and determine future trends in the Baikal region’s eco-socio-economic development based on the green economy. The methodological approach to assess the Baikal region development prospects is based on determining the factors affecting the relationship between various eco-socio-economic components using multiple regression models. We constructed the forecast using the artificial neural networks method, and we assessed the possible impact of anthropogenic factors on the Baikal region’s eco-socio-economic system in the future.

Originally a Mongol- built city (where Marco Polo served the Great Khan), Beijing eventually sent armies to Mongolia to deal the death-blow to the parent culture, and established itself first as the dominant city – then capital – of China’s North. Beijing has something for everyone – culture, architecture, history, shopping, nightlife, endless places to eat and drink. Disembark from the train here and discover an exciting and magical city, another highlight on the holiday of a lifetime. On arrival please make your own way to the Howard Johnson Paragon Hotel.

Ulaanbaatar – “Red Hero” – is a strangely attractive mixture of ancient temples and Buddhist lamaseries, alongside some ugly Soviet-era buildings built as “a gift” for the Mongolians by the USSR. On top of this are new cafes, bars, coffee-shops, internet-cafes and new-agey places.

    Sustainable Development of the Baikal Natural Territory: Opportunities and Risks Sergey Kirillov a, Sergey Nikonorov b and Alla Pakina c Lomonosov Moscow State University, Leninskie Gory 1, Moscow, Russian Federation Keywords: Baikal Natural Territory, Sustainable Development, Regional Strategies, Development Risks, Socio-Cultural Factors. Abstract: The current strategies of socio-economic development of the regions located within the Baikal Natural Territory (BNT) are often based on economic priorities as a driver and the material basis for social and environmental goals achievements. A major challenge for the regional development is the balance between Lake Baikal preservation and improving the quality of life. The results of a comparative analysis of the factors of economic development and its pressure on environment of the region were analyzed in the study. The strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and risks of sustainable development of the region were identified and compared. A key role of preserving Lake Baikal as a factor of environmental stability, self-identification of the local population and the basis of economic development of the region, as well as the importance of regulating nature management taking into account the interests of the local population, is justified. Conclusions about the value of BNT for residents of adjacent territories based on the data of social surveys are drawn, and priorities for the strategy for sustainable development of the region are formulated. 1 INTRODUCTION principles in practice. At the same time the Review considers the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) The complex of economic, social and environmental mainly in the sectoral context, without reference to problems caused by extensive development of the regional differences.
