A Meeting with Korean Ambassador to Russia: The Year of Exchanges and Promotion of Tourist Products

During the meeting, the parties were discussing the further cooperation in the field of tourism and the events planned for 2020 as part of the Year of Exchanges between the two countries.

“One of actively developing regions in the context of the inbound tourism to Moscow is the Republic of Korea, and we see a steady growth of the number of tourists from year to year. This is boosted by the direct flight connections and visa exemptions between our countries. Moscow is prepared for the further growth of the tourist flow from South Korea. The events planned for 2020 are aimed at advancing cooperation between our countries in the fields of culture and tourism,” noted Ekaterina Pronicheva.

“Strengthening of relations and cultural cooperation between our countries is very important for us. I’m sure that the set of events planned for the next year will give an additional momentum to development of tourist flows and to mutual promotion of our capitals as promising tourist destinations,” shared Lee Sok-bae.

Ekaterina Pronicheva recounted activities of the Moscow City Tourism Committee and presented the RUSSPASS project – a smart digital platform for tourists, which will be launched in 2020.
