Millions of our compatriots are lucky to live in an era when neither the “Iron Curtain” nor the inaccessibility of transport links can become an obstacle to international tourism. Despite the active promotion of recreation within our vast country, millions of Russians, for a variety of reasons, prefer to spend their holidays abroad.
Fortunately, in our time, in order to visit any country rich in many attractions, beautiful nature and exotic curiosities, the average Russian citizen does not need to take out a loan or save money for such a trip for several years at all. Many travel agencies offer their clients fairly budget tours, which are now in great demand.
