Tourism Development

Beginning in 2004 Serendipity initiated a major effort to assist with tourism development. The initial team consisted of Dr. Bruce Wicks, a University of Illinois specialist on tourism; Karen Hasara, former Mayor of Springfield, Illinois, who has substantial experience with tourism issues; and Katya Lakshtanova, a native of Moscow and a Master's candidate in tourism management at the University of Illinois.

We provide both specific recommendations and producing useable products. The latter have included an English language website for the City of Vladimir (click here to check it out!), assistance with editing English language materials, the production of a user-friendly English language map of Vladimir for tourists, and A History of the Vladimir Region for Tourists.

This is an ongoing project.
