Tour Guide Dmitry Mikhailov, a renowned blogger, gains Yakutian certification
In the heart of Siberia, Dmitry Mikhailov has made history as the first certified guide-tourist in Yakutia. This milestone was achieved following the mandatory certification of guides, guide-interpreters, and instructors that took effect across all regions of Russia from July 1, 2022.
Mikhailov, a well-known collector of urban legends and author of collections of Yakutian scary stories, was congratulated by Timur Khandy, the Minister of Entrepreneurship, Trade, and Tourism, for his certification. The certification process was initiated by a decree issued by the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin.
Mikhailov's project, "Northern Mysticism," is another testament to his passion for Yakutian culture and history. However, detailed publicly available information about this project or Mikhailov's role as a certified tour guide in Yakutia remains scarce, as no specific search results were found on this matter.
Despite the lack of extensive online information, it is known that Mikhailov has been conducting themed tours of mystical places in Yakutsk for several years. During these tours, he reveals the mystical secrets of the 'Old Town,' offering visitors a unique and captivating insight into Yakutian culture and folklore.
Those who successfully pass the certification receive a card with a QR code, valid for five years. The certified individuals are included in the registry on the website of the Ministry of Economic Development. The first certification of guides and tour guides took place in Yakutia last Friday in Yakutsk, a significant step forward for the region's tourism industry.
This certification marks a new era for tourism in Yakutia, ensuring that visitors receive professional and informed guides, contributing to a more enjoyable and educational experience for all. As Mikhailov continues to share his knowledge and passion for Yakutian culture, we look forward to seeing the impact of this certification on the region's tourism industry.
Mikhailov's certification as a guide opens up possibilities for a unique lifestyle, combining travel and the exploration of Yakutian culture and history. His themed tours, centered around the mystical secrets of Yakutsk's Old Town, offer visitors a distinctive travel experience that showcases traditional Yakutian folklore.
