Is international outbound tourism in Russia recovering?
Vice-President of the Russian Union of Travel Industry (RCT) Alexander Osaulenko said that new tour operators for outbound tourism began to enter the market, which indicates a gradual recovery of the international outbound tourism market in Russia.
“The market is recovering.” If last year for 9 months we had tour operators who did not conduct international tourist activities outbound, was about 200-plus, today it is 76 companies. This suggests that the market is gradually recovering. Let us hope that this trend will continue not to preserve, but to develop, and we will make every effort to do this, he said, speaking at the XIX Congress of the PCT.
In March, 7 countries were opened for Russians, now more than 30. In 2023, China may be opened, which before the pandemic was one of the most popular outbound tourist destinations in Russia.
According to Rosstat, from January to September, Russians made 17.4 million trips abroad, which is almost 14% more than in the same period a year ago.
