Over a period of 4th June to 15th July 2018, data produced by ForwardKeys has shown +50.5% Y-o-Y increase of forward bookings for international arrivals in Russian Federation.

Gloria Guevara, Shugaba da Shugaba, WTTC, said “Travel & Tourism creates jobs, drives economic growth and helps build better societies. This is particularly the case in Russia, the 16th largest tourism economy in the world, with Moscow generating more than a quarter of Russia’s tourism revenue. Hosting this World Cup has given Russia the opportunity to showcase cities across the country and bring together millions of travellers, while contributing to the economic growth of the sector and creating jobs.”

“Worldwide, 2017 was one of the strongest years of Travel & Tourism GDP growth in a decade. Our sector now supports one in ten jobs on the planet and contributes 10% of global GDP. Over the past ten years, one in five of all jobs created across the world has been in the sector and, with the right support from Governments, nearly 100 million new jobs could be created over the decade ahead.”
