Kazakhstan round-the-world maritime expedition on the yacht "Chokan Valikhanov" completed
ROUND-THE-WORLD VOYAGE ON THE YACHTS "SHOKAN UALIKHANOV"
In 2011 Dmitry Ivanovich, as the President of the Geographical Society of the Republic of Kazakhstan, headed the Terravita project. A unique project of the first round-the-world trip in the history of the Republic on the yacht "Shokan Ualikhanov", launched in September 2007 from the port of Aktau.
But in the fall of 2008, due to the global financial crisis, the Terravita project had to be stopped due to financial difficulties. For three years the circumnavigation of the globe was forgotten.
With difficulty and incredible efforts in search of financing Petrukhin D.I., as the head of the expedition, managed to save and resuscitate the project of the circumnavigation of the sea.
The yacht finished in Aktau on the birthday of the Leader of the Nation, July 6, 2012. The round-the-world voyage ended with a world record, nationwide jubilation and inspired new projects.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO PROMOTE THE IMAGE OF THE STATE IN THE INTERNATIONAL ARENA?
"The total amount for "country PR" is estimated to be up to 50 million dollars a year. " – claims DW's source. (Deutsche Welle – German and European perspective on world events.)
Further from the same source:
"Dmitry Ivanovich Petrukhin for 15 years traveled 170 countries, 400 thousand kilometers with the purpose of PR and promotion of the image of the Republic of Kazakhstan and large international projects initiated by the First leadership of the country.
He held more than 250 PR-actions, press-conferences for the first persons of states, elite representatives of science, culture, business with the participation of central media in each city visited by the delegation, and repeated broadcasts during a month in connection with the thorough hype around the arrival of the only biker-ra-circumnavigator with such achievements".
At average calculations, the budget savings that could be spent by the state to promote image projects is approx. 70 million dollars a year and so for the entire 15 years of the journey.
What does this say? And that if you have an idea burning in you, its value will be equal to hundreds of millions of dollars, the main thing is not to stop and boldly go forward, filling your way with the energy of great victories.
