Moscow and Siberia Open Doors to Indian Tourists with New Travel Program

The Moscow City Tourism Committee is dedicated to enhancing tourism and hospitality in the capital, positioning Moscow as a premier destination for international travelers, with a particular focus on attracting visitors from India.

Since the introduction of e-visas on August 1, 2023, over 30,000 tourists have utilized the service in its first month. The e-visa, valid for 60 days, permits stays of up to 16 days.

In the first half of the year, nearly 1 million foreign tourists visited Moscow, with an additional 600,000 arriving over the summer. Leading non-CIS countries contributing to this influx include China, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, and India. Notably, India was highlighted last year as one of the top non-CIS countries in terms of tourist numbers to Moscow, as noted by Kozlov.
