The growth rate of Inbound International Trips from India to Moscow exceeds the level of all Outbound International Trips from India. Thus, according to the India Ministry of Tourism, for the period 2016-2019, the total annual growth rate of inbound international trips from India to Moscow was 15%, and the number of inbound international trips to Moscow from India grew 1.8 times: from 61.4 thousand to 109 thousand trips. During the pandemic, it was expected that the number of inbound international trips from India to Moscow would decrease to 58 thousand trips, but it was noted that 48% of Indian travelers visited Moscow twice in 2021. According to Federal Agency for Tourism, in 2021, the tourist flow from India to Moscow has recovered by 40% compared to the pre-pandemic 2019.

This year during the first 6 months Moscow hosted 13.3 thousand Indians. It is expected that the pre-pandemic figures will be reached by the end of 2023.

Besides that, the e-visa application will be launched for 52 countries, India is enlisted too. It is a simplified procedure for submitting documents online.

Moscow offers holidays for all tastes. Fans of luxury holidays can stay in one of 40 luxury hotels and dine in 69 Michelin-starred restaurants. In the capital there is an opportunity to taste the cuisine of any direction and region of the world in more than 15 thousand restaurants.

Connoisseurs of cultural life in Moscow are waiting for more than 400 museums and exhibition halls, 250 theaters and concert halls, a large number of festival programs, most of which are unique and have no analogues in the world.
