The head of the Federal Tourism Agency Zarina Doguzova announced that the Agency plans to launch the vacation season from the May holidays this year.
"We expect to launch the vacation season in early May, this idea is supported by all regions. We hope that the weather will also favor us. In May it is already warm in most regions of our country. Therefore, I propose to make sure that the vacation season and the summer for our citizens began from the May holidays along with a tourist cashback, which will help save up to 20% when buying a tour," the head of the Federal Agency for Tourism said.
She also added that the launch of the third stage of the tourist cashback for tours in Russia is expected in the near future. As a part of the campaign, it will be possible to travel around the country on tours with cashback already in March and until the end of June.
