Our news

In February 2025, we organized an impressive roadshow for Visit Maldives to three cities of Russia. As part of the professional Visit Maldives Week, a large delegation of representatives of the Maldives tourism industry visited Moscow, St. Petersburg and Tyumen, meeting with almost three hundred leading trade clients and new potential partners from Russia.

As part of the Maldives Week, an informal meeting with representatives of the main professional media and individual journalists was also held in Moscow. In the album posted in the PHOTO GALLERIES section, you can see illustrated fragments of all the meetings we held in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Tyumen.

In September 2024, our company began collaborating with a bright and creative team in Tanzania: a group of enthusiasts organizing original tailor-made tours and expeditions in this unique destination. Our new colleagues from the Safari Nuggets company are able to surprise even the most sophisticated traveller: assisted by professional guides, tourists conquer the summit of Kilimanjaro, watch the migration of wild animals, and lay their own routes among the fantastic landscapes of the African continent.
For more information about Safari Nuggets - follow the link from the main menu of our website. There is also a photo album and several samples of ready-made routes and expeditions with detailed descriptions and prices.

At the end of 2022, a new promising alliance of several regional leading incoming tour operators and DMC’s appeared on the South American continent - South America Incoming (SAI). And at the beginning of 2023, this alliance commissioned Compass Consulting to represent its services on the Russian and CIS markets.

The alliance includes such flagships of the South American tourism industry as Compass Brazil in Brazil, VIPAC (Viajes Pacifico) in Peru, Furlong Incoming in Argentina and Uruguay, Turavion in Chile.

In August 2022, our company invited 10 Russian journalists to visited Maldives as part of a press tour organized by MMPRC. To fit the maximum number of impressions into the compressed agenda of the trip, we divided the participants into two groups, each one traveled along its own itinerary through the islands of the archipelago. The guests were able to visit six resorts, and even discovered the capital city of Male.

You can see the trip report in our PHOTO ALBUM, posted on the PICTURE GALLERY page.

Since January 2022, our company has been officially appointed as the PR agency representing the Maldives Marketing & PR Corporation (MMPRC) in Russia and the CIS countries. MMPRC promotes the image of the Maldives and the services of the private tourism sector of the Maldives in the main world tourism markets under the Visit Maldives brand.

In a view of the recent challenges, especially limitations in face-to-face communications with our clients in Russia (corporate meeting planners, MICE agencies, tour and travel operators and others) we have launched a new project: our online Newsletter, COMPASS NEWS. The newsletter will be released every 14 days. The text is in Russian language and the distribution is slightly over 1000 addresses. The first issue offers a brief introduction of some of our DMC partners, showing some unique sales point of each DMC. Next issues we will be devoted to one DMC each, presenting a company's introduction, main sales contacts and an update of new products and services available from each destination.

"Compass-Consulting" has been involved in tourism marketing representation in Russia for the last 15 years. It currently operates as a full time representation base in Russia for Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) and for a number of DMC partners from various parts of the world.

A truly historic event took place on 20-21 July 2018 in hotel "Indigo" in St. Petersburg. Partners of "Compass-Consulting" (DMC's, hotels, destinations) met with our best friends from Russia. Friends here equal to clients, but definitely better fits the meaning of this event. These client-friends came from Moscow and St. Petersburg.
A group of 40 Moscow based clients arrived to St. Petersburg with an early morning train from Moscow to spend here two beautiful mid-summer days to enjoy a company of one another, to talk face-to-face with their colleagues from St. Petersburg, but first an foremost - to get the latest updates on the products and services of our partners (DMC's, hotels and destinations from all over the world).
The agenda of "Compass-Consulting Travel & MICE Workshop 2018" consisted of three major events: a business part, which was built around table-top presentations and discussions, an evening cocktail on top the most romantic roof of St. Petersburg overlooking the Peter & Paul fortress, St. Isak cathedral and the roofs of old Petersburg; and - a friendly networking lunch the next day on board a tourist ship "Moskva" sailing along the river Neva across the most spectacular surroundings of St. Petersburg.

Dear colleagues! Many of you would recall that the history of "Compass-Consulting' began in the early 2000-s from the publication of a Russian version of EVENTS Magazine, a leading European magazine on meetings and events. We at EVENTS RUSSIA were the first to start writing about MICE industry as such, and in fact we were the first to bring MICE into Russia at all! We are very proud that many contemporary Pioneers and Leaders of Russian MICE entered the business then, 15 years ago, through our magazine. Many more - carried out their first successful MICE projects after reading EVENTS. Finally, many and many more - could simply find their colleagues, their friends and their supporters through this magazine.
Today we have collected more or less all cover pages of EVENTS RUSSIA through all the years, and uploaded them in a separate photo album in the GALLERY section of this web site.
We would be happy, if you enjoy these photographs along with us, and we together will recall the times, when EVENTS remained the one and only COMPASS for the Russian MICE industry, that was making then its first steps.
If by any chance you would be interested in reading any of our archive features, published in any of these issues, please write to us at director@compass-consulting.ru and we will try to send you the texts and the photos - we keep as much as we can!
Eventually, we will by uploading many interesting stories ever published in EVENTS RUSSIA in the section EVENTS MAGAZINE LIBRARY of this web site.

"Compass-Consulting" released its annual market review on the current stage and 2017 outlook for the Russian tourism and MICE industry. 

Many of our partners and friends keep asking us: what are the reasons for a slowdown in Russian tourism and weather there is any “light in the end of the tunnel”? Go to the “LIBRARY” section of our web site to look for answers.
