Certification of guides and guides-interpreters in the Russian Federation will become mandatory from July 1
Less than two months are left before the provision of services of guides and guides-interpreters in Russia without passing certification will become illegal, the responsibility for non-performance will be borne by the employers of specialists and the guides themselves.
Vice-President of the Russian Union of Travel Industry (PCT), founder of the Persona Grata law agency Georgy Mokhov: "Excursors and guides-interpreters in Russia had to undergo mandatory certification by July 1, last year, but it could not be carried out at the right pace, so the deadline was postponed for a year..."
On June 1, 2024, new provisions on state control over the activities of guides and guides-interpreters will come into force. A new version of the article was introduced in the sectoral law No. 132, which fixes control powers for regions and municipalities.
He believes that in such tourist regions as Moscow, St. Petersburg, Krasnodar Krai, especially on the eve of the high season, the definition of regulatory authorities and the control algorithm will go quite quickly.
“Travel guides may, if violations are found, be warned, ordered to remedy the infringement, then fined for non-compliance. Articles of the Administrative Code for illegal entrepreneurial activity or activity with violation of mandatory requirements and other, depending on the situation, can also be applied, the expert explained.
In the Federal register of guides and guides-interpreters entered 7127 records. As of May 12, 2023, there were 3,098.
