North Caucasus tours and unrecognized countries tourism? One of the most rewarding travel experiences I ever had, not to say the best, was visiting a Syrian refugee camp. Being able to help, even if it was on a very small scale, those people who are directly suffering the worst humanitarian crisis from the 21st century, was seriously amazing, to the extent that I just can’t explain it in words. I went to the local bazaar to buy a huge load of toys and distributed them among as many children as I could. I ran out of toys in a matter of minutes and dude, it was beautiful… As you may imagine, there are many refugee camps across the region but I went to Darashakran, as you don’t need to apply for any special permit.
The North Caucasus is a region of the Caucasus in Southern Russia, bordering Georgia to the south and Krasnodar Krai, Stavropol Krai, and Kalmykia to the north. Our tours consist primarily of tours to Chechnya, Dagestan, Ingushetia and North Ossetia, however, tours to other parts of the region are easily arranged. Chechnya, officially the Chechen Republic, is a federal subject of Russia. It is a Federal Subject of Russia located in the North Caucasus, and within 100 kilometres of the Caspian Sea. The capital of the republic is the city of Grozny. Dagestan, officially the Republic of Dagestan, is a federal subject of Russia, located in the North Caucasus region. Its capital and largest city is Makhachkala, centrally located on the Caspian Sea coast. Read extra info at Artsakh Tours.
Though Abkhazia declared independence from Georgia in 1999, there’s no end in sight for its political and economic reliance on Russia, the only major country to recognize the breakaway republic as a sovereign nation. The ruble is Abkhazia’s de facto currency, and—to the chagrin of many native Abkhaz—Russian remains the lingua franca. Russian guards patrol the conflict divide, and as recently as 2016, new Abkhaz-Russian military alliances were being formed, furthering Russia’s sphere of influence in the region and angering Georgia and the international community. But as one learns quickly in Abkhazia, foreign occupation and a burgeoning tourism industry aren’t mutually exclusive: According to the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Republic of Abkhazia, 3.5 million tourists visited in 2017 alone, some 90% of which were Russian (though many also visit from Turkey, Belarus, and to a lesser extent, Europe).
?Unrecognized Countries constitute an interesting and important anomaly in the international system of sovereign states. No matter how successful and efficient in the administration of their territories they are, they fail to achieve international recognition. In some cases, the unrecognized country is more successfully both from a democratic perspective and from an economic perspective. Especially in such cases, why wouldn’t the international community recognize unrecognized countries? Discover more info at www.politicalholidays.com.
