The Seven Wonders of Russia
“The Seven Wonders of Russia Collection” is a thematic tourism project of Zelenski
Destination Management Solutions created in a form of 7 tailor-made tour packages to
familiarize international travelers with Russia’s top cultural and natural attractions.
Zelenski Destination Management Solutions offers an exciting
opportunity to visit the 7 Russian wonders – top-voted national
attractions, at some of the most amazing locations of the country.
Initially the “Seven Wonders of
Russia” is a project organized by
some of Russia’s top media
channels in 2008 to identify 7 most
amazing touristic spots of the
country – the seven wonders of
Russia.
The competition was held in three
stages. During the first stage there
was a collection of options and
preliminary voting on them.
Eventually, 49 wonders of the 7
federal districts of Russia were
selected.
The second stage left only 14
finalists to take part in the grand
finale. On June the 12th, 2008, after
a secret voting that was carried out
by SMS and Internet, 7 winners of
the competition were announced
on the Red Square.
Bearing in mind that some of the
original winners of the competition
are located in extremely isolated
locations, Zelenski DMC have briefly
adjusted the selection of “wonders”
to suit the travelers requirements.
Warmest regards from Russia
