For Group Travel Planners

Photo credit: Abdu Samadov

We enjoy working closely with group travel planners from alumni and museum organizations, as well as a wide range of specialty groups and private clubs. We create itineraries that fulfill even the most challenging and unusual requests, and we have a knack for balancing the realities of our destinations with the expectations of a Western clientele.

Special Interest Groups

What started back in the mid-1980s as a volleyball exchange between Soviet and American teams evolved through MIR into a passion to connect North American groups with their counterparts in Siberia, Central Asia and beyond. We’ve helped every type of specialty group imaginable along the way:

  • Hawaiian hula dancers took part in a local Siberian festival.
  • Craft beer brewers were received like VIPs at breweries in the town where Pilsner originated.
  • Genealogy buffs discovered long-lost relatives in their ancestral villages.
  • Agriculturists were warmly welcomed for overnights in the homes of local farmers.

Over the years we’ve helped countless organizations achieve their travel goals, and we’d love the opportunity to work with you and your institution.
