The Indian Embassy in Moscow has stated that during 2024, the number of Indian tourists visiting Russia exceeded 120,000 people, and added that “If this trend continues, the mutual tourist flow can potentially surpass 450,000 for 2025.”
In 2023, around 60,000 Indians visited Russia, while an estimated 160,000 Russians travelled to India – more than the combined figures for 2021 and 2022. Now, Russia ranks among the top ten countries in terms of the number of travellers to India.
India has shown interest in the further liberalisation of the mutual visa regime and has emphasised the importance of extending the validity period of electronic visas. The Indian Embassy stated that the expansion of air links between Russia and India, the development of cultural exchanges, and the organisation of joint sectoral events would contribute to the growth of mutual tourist flows.
In July, Moscow will also host, for the first time, a large-scale tourism congress with the participation of specialists from relevant departments and employees of leading Russian and Indian companies.
