After Perestroika in 1990, Russians have become a truly travelling nation. In 2016, some 31.7m Russians out of its 146m total population travelled abroad for tourism purposes. Big number, isn’t it? The most exciting news is that the Russian outbound tourism keeps growing by two-digits in 2017!
As compared to the previous year, the number of outbound travels from Russia has grown by 24 per cent in the first quarter of 2017: from 5.4 mto 6.7m trips, Russian Federal Agency for Tourism says.
