Awake Goy The head of the Russian Federal Tourism Agency, Oleg Safonov, hopes for an increase in the tourist flow from Russia to Iran after the easing of the visa regime.
“Our tourism ties are actively developing, Iranian tourists visit the Russian Federation very actively. The tourist flow from Russia to Iran is not that big, but I think the potential of our cooperation is very serious,” he said.
According to Safonov, the Iranian authorities are prepared to consider the abolition of visas for Russian tourists. “Tehran is ready to consider the possibility of the introduction of a visa-free regime between Russia and Iran,” TASS cited the head of the agency as saying.
The Iranian authorities are also working on the possibility of introducing electronic visas.
The head of the Federal Tourism Agency said that Russia and Iran have signed a joint action program for 2016-2018 on cooperation in tourism.
