Already in 2013, bills that weaken the visa regime for foreign tourists can be adopted, RBC reports citing to Deputy Minister of Culture Alla Manilova. The Ministry of Culture has proposed two draft laws for consideration by the government of the Russian Federation, which, in their opinion, will increase the number of tourists arriving in Russia.

Thus, tourists will be able to stay in our country without a visa for up to 10 days during mass cultural or sports events such as the Sochi Olympics or the World Cup. And also, in case of adoption of innovations, transit travelers will be able to stay in the Russian Federation without hindrance for 72 hours. Such a regime for passengers of cruise ships arriving in St. Petersburg has already worked to increase the number of visitors to the city.
