Named the most unpopular state among Russians
In 2018, Russians ignored almost a dozen countries. The Association of Tour Operators of Russia and the Border Service of the FSB of the Russian Federation named the states, where not a single Russian arrived in a year.
Zero in the column of arrivals of Russian citizens is listed at BeninBermudov, BotswanaComoros, Marshall Islands, Saint Martin, Falkland Islands.
No trips to New Zealand were recorded last year. It is possible that Russians visited this state as part of complex travel.
Of the countries that a year earlier, Russians visited rarely or not at all, in 2018, several destinations were noted for multiple growth.
Largely due to the new programs of tour operators.
From 1 arrival to 1960, the tourist flow to Jamaica increased, from 6 to 644 to Ethiopia, from 32 to 5573 to Oman, from 19 to 1065 to the Republic of Mali. The number of Russian tourists increased from 0 to 291 Dominica, and also from 0, but already up to 1701 tourists gambia.
Almost 4 times - from 703 tourists to 2627 people - the tourist flow of Russians to Iceland increased. Perhaps the interest in the northern country and the bright performance of its football fans at the 2018 World Cup in Russia affected.
The Republic of Chile has shown remarkable stability. 71 Russians arrived here in 2018, the same number as in 2017.
Residents of Russia in 2018 made more than 44.5 million foreign trips.
