Partnership between Russian Mountain Guides Association and MountainPlanet.com

Mountain Planet and RMGA Partnership
The Russian Mountain Guides Association started its partnership with the MountainPlanet.com project - free collaborative online encyclopedia and platform for effective communication within the global Alpine Community.

According to our mission, which is based on making mountains closer and safer for all members of the global Alpine Community, MountainPlanet.com pays special attention to the operating professional mountaineers, adventure guides and organizations providing different services in the mountain regions.

The audience of the project includes professional athletes, guides and outdoor enthusiasts, as well as representatives of mountaineering, trekking, rock climbing and ski communities.

MountainPlanet.com is beginning a new stage of development in Russia, focusing on searching and selecting adventure guides for various requirements, providing the most objective information about qualifications and experience of worldwide guides.The MountainPlanet.com project is led by Sergey Kofanov, a renowned mountaineer having the highest international mountaineering awards, two times Mount Everest summiter and a mountain guide himself.

The main goal of the cooperation with RMGA consists in information support of the official status of mountain guides in the international Alpine Community, assistance in the communication of guides with international clients and partners, popularization of programs for professional training of mountain guides.

"Signing the partnership agreement with RMGA is the first step of our strategy, the development of which is planned in all countries having official organizations representing the interests of mountain guides, - states Sergey Kofanov. - The verification of professionals in the outdoor industry is a relevant issue for many people, and the aim of the MountainPlanet.com project is to help people avoid mistakes while choosing a qualified specialist. Our platform is particularly designed in order to study the market of the offered guided services around the world with the most possible verified information related to qualifications. By verifying the information with mountain guides associations, we can control the reliability of data and its completeness even better. I am grateful to my Russian colleagues for taking part in the program, which will help us realize the conceived and improve the system in the interests of all representatives of the global Alpine Community."

"We support the beginning of MountainPlanet.com because the missions of our activity are very parallel, - adds RMGA President Maxim Foigel. - Safe mountains for all kind of people is the concept that cannot be done without the presence of a mountain guide. And we particularly appreciate that MountainPlanet.com focuses on professionals who have received or are getting formed and certified in their countries. From my side, as the head of the Russian Association, I am interested in profitable representation of our guides in the international alpine environment and increase of their competitive advantages. I hope that by the time of the RMGA joining the IFMGA, our guides will form a positive opinion in a professional and amateur environment, and this won’t take place without the participation of MountainPlanet.com."

Detailed presentation of the MountainPlanet.com project and additional information on the benefits of the project for guides will be published on the RMGA website.
