“The issue of cashless payments for travellers in Russia is a key point for our federal government”, he noted.
“To support growth, we are developing the city in several directions, in particular by promoting event tourism. The capital receives many guests during seasonal festivals, so the Moscow tourism development programme until 2030 provides for the further development of cultural and entertainment tourism. According to experts, about 7.3 million guests will be attracted to Moscow by event tourism, and we expect many of them to be from India,” he said.
"There are more than 10 weekly flights connecting India and Moscow, including the Russian airline Aeroflot with a direct flight from New Delhi, and we hope that this number will increase in the future. Unfortunately, Indian airlines do not operate direct flights to Moscow. We hope that in the future this situation will change", he said.
