#ARCTIC. #SIBERIA. THIS IS TAIMYR. Russia has launched its first catalog of regional tourism products for foreign tourists. It was presented by the Strategic Research Center’s International Tourism Development Center.
The catalog under the Discover Russia brand is addressed to tourists from China, India, Iran, and the Persian Gulf countries, TASS reports. The first catalog includes 11 standard tourism products from 12 regions of Russia: Altai, Kamchatka, Habarovsk region, Kaluga, Kemerovo, Samara, Tambov and Tver regions, the Republics of Buryatia and Mari El, and the Yamalo-Nenets autonomous district. As noted by the Center for International Tourism Development, the regions were selected based on the readiness of their infrastructure (availability of hotels of the required star rating, hotels with national cuisines, etc.), hotel occupancy, and proximity to transport hubs.
“The catalog describes each route: how many people it is designed for, whether there is a certified guide, how long the tour takes, how much it costs, and the ability to buy it by clicking on the QR code to the purchase page. The route cover shows all the tourist places that the tourist will definitely see if he buys this route, and then a detailed description for each day of the route”, the message says.
Earlier we talked about the new guidebook – Norilsk. Taimyr.
