One of the most difficult tasks in such highly specialized projects is to attract a relevant audience. The experience, professional level of our team, technical capabilities of the company and the partners' support made all this possible.
657 users were registered as project participants, 257 of them had real-time trainings. In total, more than 1 100 people have attended Russia Expo Day Baikal online fair.

We are happy to be partners of Red Baikal event here in TAFI – one of the largest travel associations in India, with over 1400 members all over the country. In 2019 Russia has received 90 thousand tourists from India. I think this number can grow multiple times. Of course, with the pandemic, the growth is slower, but now with the concept of India Friendly hotels it will be easier for many tourists to decide on a trip to Russia. I would also mention that if visa agreements are extended in an easier way, this will also help to increase the flow of tourists from India to Russia. This is beneficial to both countries.
The audience noted a high quality and uniqueness of the information presented during India Friendly webinars.

It was a very interesting experience. We are all confident that sooner or later the borders will be open. Now is the very moment when you can reformat the approaches and elaborate new meanings for the development of inbound tourism.
47 organizations get trained, including 15 hotels. All program participants received certificates of India Frendly conformity.
