Tourism in Russia is a relatively small, but growing industry. The rich cultural heritage and natural diversity of places put Russia in a prominent place among the countries with the potential growth of tourism.

There are 24 UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Russia. Different regions and ethnic groups have a wide variety of traditions. From 1995 to 2011, foreign tourism to Russia increased by 27%. The number of foreign tourists increased from 1.8 to 2.3 million per year.

This video was made for the Federal Tourism Agency of Russia. Of course, the pictures of natural and architectural monuments are great, but the simple simplification of visa regime with the countries of Western Europe and the United States would be many times more useful for the development of the tourism industry in Russia.
