Russia Has Emerged As A New Tourist Hotspot For Kuwaiti And Gulf Citizens
Russia has emerged as a new tourist destination for Kuwaiti and Gulf citizens, after the ninth most populous nation attracted some 32 million visitors in 2015. In March, Russia opened a national tourist office in Kuwait, an endeavor intended to lure Arab and Gulf tourists to a country whose tourism industry has grown exponentially and is home to 22 United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Sites, in addition to a diverse landscape.
Speaking to KUNA on Sunday, Deputy President of the Russian Tourism Agency Sergei Korneev underscored his country as a new global tourist hotspot, citing substantial growth in Moscow’s tourism industry, adding that the country has managed to earn around USD 13-20 billion in tourism revenue.
Moreover, he noted that Russia is keen on welcoming Gulf and Arab tourists in the near future, amid expectations of a 25 percent growth in the tourism industry by the year 2025. He also added that the tourism industry accounts for three percent of total investments in the country and has managed to provide some four million jobs.
