"Overall, the year has been positive. We will reach figures of 5.4−5.5 million inbound tourist trips, that is, there is an increase compared to the previous year," Nikita Kondratiev, director of the Department of Multilateral Economic cooperation and special Projects of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, told RIA Novosti.
