7. The growing popularity of Russian resorts
The Black Sea coast of the Caucasus is becoming famous all over the world, thanks to the Sochi Olympics. Moreover, in addition to summer holidays, the authorities of the region plan to actively develop the skiing area. Well, in conjunction with the fall of the ruble against the euro and the dollar, rest in Russia is becoming somewhat more affordable than tours, for example, to Europe and other countries of the world.
6. Year of Italian tourism
In November 2013 it was decided to hold a year of Russian tourism in Italy, as well as the year of Italian tourism in Russia. The aim of the project is to increase the number of visitors in both directions. Thanks to the agreement, issuing Italian visas to Russians will be as fast as possible.
5. Growing popularity of the monuments of the First World War
In 2014, we will sadly celebrate 100 years since the start of the first of the largest military conflicts in history. The largest military museums of the countries participating in the war are preparing memorable exhibitions and events. It should be expected that the tourist flow will significantly grow to the places of major battles. In summer thousands of tourists are going to visit the Museum of the Army in Paris, the Bavarian War Museum in Ingolstadt, the Imperial War Museum in London, and the Military History Museum in Vienna.
4. Choice in favor of exotics
Lonely Planet Publishing has published a list of 10 countries that tourists will most often visit in 2014.Surprisingly, Antarctica, Brazil, Mexico, Malaysia, Malawi and the Seychelles are on the list. Unfortunately, for Russians these directions remain excessively expensive.

According to the forecasts of the leading domestic tour operators, Egypt will become the most popular holiday destination in 2014.This African state will leave behind Thailand, Italy, Spain and Turkey.
2. Relaxation of the visa regime
Since January 1, 2014, a visa-free regime between Russia and South Korea was finally introduced. The authorities of both countries expect that the tourist flow in both directions will increase several times. In addition, there is reason to hope that in 2014 there will be progress in the negotiations on the abolition of visas to European countries.
1. Development of tourism in the CIS countries
At the Council of Foreign Ministers of the CIS countries, 2014 was declared a year of tourism in the Commonwealth.
