Russian Union of Travel Industry (RST) is a strategic partner of the Boat of the Year 2025 Award

Organizing committee of the National award Boat of the Year announces official support from the Russian Union of Travel Industry (RST).

Corresponding agreements were reached at a meeting with Ilya Umansky, PST President.

What it means for the award:

• Federal status: The award becomes a key platform for a dialogue between business and government in the field of water tourism.

• State support: Representatives of the State Duma of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Economic Development are invited to the award ceremony at Crocus Expo.

• Media coverage: The ceremony will be held with the participation of journalists from federal media, PST pool and specialized publications.

Andrey Kazansky, the founder of the award, says that PST’s support confirms that we are doing an important thing not only for the boat market, but also for the development of domestic tourism in general. The boat is a travel tool in Russia. Together with PST, we are bringing the small shipbuilding industry out of the shadows and into the light of federal spotlights.

For participants and partners:

This is a unique opportunity to present your achievements not only to clients, but also to decision-makers at the state level.

The final of the award will take place on February 27, 2026 at Crocus Expo.
