About Stranoteka
Travel knowledge built first-hand.
Founded and personally led by Rinat Khamidullin and Lilia Khamidullina, Stranoteka is an established family-owned travel agency and media brand with 26 years of experience serving clients across Russia and internationally.
Our perspective
Where sales experience meets editorial work.
Travelers do not choose from a brochure alone. They compare rooms, locations, service, food, atmosphere and the details that shape a real stay.
Our travel-sales work keeps us close to those questions; our inspections and content let us explore them in depth. For partners, this means a perspective informed by traveler conversations and first-hand experience.
The people behind Stranoteka
Owned and led by its founders—together.
Rinat and Lilia have personally directed Stranoteka for 26 years. Family ownership is the agency’s leadership model, not a measure of its scale: the business combines established travel operations, repeat client relationships, international destination expertise and direct access to an established audience across its own channels.
How we work
Four simple principles.
Honest
A collaboration does not purchase a predetermined opinion.
Useful
We focus on details that help travelers understand a property or destination.
Partner-minded
Formats, channels, timing and deliverables are agreed around a clear brief.
Audience context
Russian-speaking travelers across established international markets.
Stranoteka’s international partnership work is built around the questions, expectations and travel decisions of Russian-speaking audiences, with established business operations in Russia and Kazakhstan.
