History and achievements

Tourclub was founded in 1967 within the system of Regional Council in tourism and excursions as a public tourism organisation.
As a commercial structure Tourcub began to function in 1990. Its first steps were made in the field of abroad trips, reception of foreign tourists in Ukraine, and outdoor activities.

Nowadays we possess a great accumulating experience in reception of foreign tourists from Poland, Bulgaria, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Hungary, Germany, and other countries. We offered both standard tours with accommodation in hotels or tourist camps and outdoor active programs.

Tourclub team had enough time to succeed in a great number of highly complicated trips. Among conquered territories are: trekking (Altai, Polar Ural, Taimyr, Kolsky Peninsula, the West Tian Shan Mountains, the Sayan Mountains, Transbaikalia (Kodar, Upper Angarsky range), Yakutia (Suntar-Khayata Range); climbing (Central and Western Caucasus, Pamir-Alai, Central Tian Shan, Altai); rafting (Karelia, Sayan Mountains, Kamchatka, Northern Urals).

During these trips except sport achievements we also gained information on little-known areas, discovered and passed for the first time series of passes in Kodar, Verhnoanharsky Range, Shapshal. Therefore, on the tourist maps appeared such passes as Galician, of Ternopil tourists, Ternopil, Kurbas (Verhnoanharsky range), 50 years of liberation, and others.
