Dear friends,

With all my heart I would like to welcome the organizers and guests of OTDYKH International Russian Travel Market!

A key to travel industry success in any country is a growth of domestic and inbound tourism. In this sense, the today’s show is a significant event for Russia, as the development of these sectors is our top priority.

Over its 20-year history, OTDYKH has proved to be an efficient business and communication platform for experience exchange and travel industry actual problems discussion.

I would like to express gratitude to the partners and organizers of OTDYKH International Russian Travel Market. I would like to wish all exhibitors and guests fruitful work, the achievement of the set goals, much prosperity and success!!
