The Client was offered a tour with limited conditions, which was strictly regulated time period for the tour (October) and direction (Greece). A new creative platform was selected to promote the tour has – the popular role-playing game “Mafia” with a detective story that happens to be played by several million people in Russia, ranging from 10 to 100 years old.
