14 million guests visited the RUSSIA EXPO
On May 24,
the 14-millionth guest visited the RUSSIA EXPO. He was eight-year-old Kirill
Starov from the Kamchatka region, who came to the Exposition with his parents -
Dmitry and Larisa.
The
millionth visitor was congratulated in the "House of Polymers", where
SIBUR's exposition is presented. Kirill was presented with a certificate for a
family trip to Tobolsk, the tourist and industrial capital of Siberia. Today
this city not only refutes stereotypes about snowy Siberia, but can show really
amazing things - history, culture, gastronomy, spirituality, ecological
production and accessibility for tourists - thanks to the newly built airport.
More than one million tourists and sightseers visit Tobolsk every year.
"This
is our first time at the Exposition. Every year we pass through Moscow - and it
was this time that we decided to visit it," Kirill Starov said. "It
is very unexpected for us to become the anniversary visitors. We have the
brightest expectations from the upcoming trip - we want to learn something new
and get new impressions," added his mother Larisa.
The guest
program of the anniversary visitors includes an excursion to the childhood
places of the great scientist-encyclopedist, innovator, native of Tobolsk
Dmitry Mendeleev, whose 190th anniversary is celebrated this year.
The Starov
family will also have an opportunity to visit and get acquainted with
Mendeleev's direct heritage - the "giant on the Irtysh" or
ZapSibNeftekhim - Russia's largest and most modern complex for the production
of synthetic materials that will later be used to make telephones, pipes,
clothes, car parts, dishes and many other things, without which it is difficult
to imagine the daily life of a modern person.
Olga Binda,
Head of Creative Development, Marketing and Analytics at the RUSSIA EXPO,
congratulated the anniversary visitors.
"You
are the first millionth-visitors who came to the new, blossoming RUSSIA EXPO.
We have started the "Future in Flowers" festival - we highly
recommend you to visit it. The Exposition is an area of gratitude and we say
thank you for visiting us. We wish you a good trip and recreation," said
Olga Binda.
The
millionth guest and his family will also be provided with a flight and transfer
to Tobolsk and back.
"We
are glad that the RUSSIA EXPO gives a unique opportunity to millions of
residents of the country, foreign tourists to see all the achievements of
domestic science, technology, industry. In turn, the "House of
Polymers" and industrial tourism programs of SIBUR enterprises continue to
acquaint the general public with the achievements of modern oil and gas
chemistry," said Oleg Makarov, Member of the Management Board and
Executive Director of SIBUR.
The
thirteen-millionth visitor was welcomed at the Exposition on May 16. It was
Tatyana Yasyukovich. She came to the Exposition with her family: her daughter
Anastasia Yasyukovich and her grandchildren - sixteen-year-old Vladislav and
three-year-old Sasha. The family received a certificate for a trip to the Kirov
region.
On April 6, the ten-millionth guest visited the Exposition: he was Konstantin Panfilov from
Yaroslavl, who came to the capital with his wife Ekaterina. The couple received
a certificate from the RUSSIA EXPO and Rosatom State Corporation for a trip to
Murmansk to visit the world's first nuclear-powered vessel, the nuclear
icebreaker "Lenin", as well as one of the universal nuclear
icebreakers of Atomflot FSUE.
The
Exposition crossed the threshold of five million guests on February 22. Alexei
Maximov with his wife and two children came to VDNH. The family from the city
of Volzhsky, Volgograd region, received a trip along the "Energy of
Ladoga" route from the RUSSIA EXPO, the administration of the Leningrad
region and the Igora Tour travel company. Thanks to the gift, the family saw
the main symbols of the Volga region and got acquainted with the history of our
country's small towns.
