Two years later he settled down in Hainan and gradually integrated into the local life.

For tourists from Russia, in addition to the province's safety and friendliness, its gourmet food, cultural customs, and folk cultures are also enticing, said Radziuk. He created a Russian-language website introducing Hainan, integrated his political and business resources in Russian-speaking regions, as well as devoted himself to promoting Hainan's tourism culture in Russian-speaking regions and boosting Hainan's international cooperation and exchanges with these places.

Every international exchange and cooperation program, tourism culture promotion and art exchange has helped him know Hainan better and love the place deeper, according to Radziuk, who noted that his work and life here has been packed with fun and passion.
