Presentation discussions will introduce new ideas and growth areas for business, most recent inter-regional routes and travel projects in Russia, as well as promising types of tourism — ecological, yacht, ethnic and caravanning, arctic, children’s, weekend tourism. By tradition, there will be events on IT technologies in tourism, training workshops for tourist information centers and travel journalists. Inbound tourism, which is gearing up for a reboot, has not been overlooked either.

The Intourmarket international travel fair will be held on March 12-14 in the Expocenter. Don’t forget to get a free ticket to enter the exhibition.
