The program will last until December 2021. The head of the Federal Tourism Agency, Zarina Doguzova, noted that this support measure is embedded in the corresponding national project.
According to Zarina Doguzova, cashback should work to support the low season so that prices are leveled and this was a measure of economic stimulation for business so that it could hire people for the whole year, not 6-7 months. And, of course, I would like to diversify the product due to cashback.
This year 1.2 million people took part in the program. If we add the results of last year to this figure, the number of participants will be over 1.5 million. Recall that by the end of 2020, as part of the tourist cashback, tours were sold and hotel rooms were booked for 6.5 billion rubles. The third stage of the program runs until June 15. Tourists can go on a trip as part of the campaign until June 30.
