Booking responded to the initiative to limit his work in Russia

Booking experts believe that the restrictions of its work in Russia will affect tourism, and more than 70 thousand hotels will suffer from this. Booking.com ... promotes the development of tourism in Russia, attracting travelers from all over the world to Russian hotels. We help to develop the business of more than 70.5 thousand different accommodation facilities <...> provide all partners with equal opportunities to work with travelers.

 

Director of the group of companies “Svoy travel service” S. Voitovich in the spring of this year proposed to limit some functions of the service in the Russian Federation, believing that the limitation of the service for booking compatriots rooms in Russian hotels will support domestic business and tourism, and will be a response to sanctions against the Russian Federation. The Ministry of culture on the eve appealed to Rosturizm with the wish “to consider a proposal to ban the activities of Booking.com” in Russia. The ministry believes that there are no threats to the service, and the order is "an absolutely standard procedure, which is technical in nature." In Rosturizm hastened to oppose the initiative of the tour operator, although they had to answer only on June 4.

 

Hoteliers believe that it is possible to restrict or ban Booking in Russia when there is a serious alternative for it, but there is no one now.
