Russian banks began issuing payment cards for foreign tourists in test mode. Alexander Osaulenko, director of the Association “Association of Tour Operators in the Sphere of Outbound Tourism “Turpomosch”” says the issuance of payment cards will be convenient for organized tourists.
“We are discussing expanding the capabilities of banks with exchange offices, expanding their time range of work, working on weekends. Cards are another option,” he says, adding that the greater the variability, the better it will be for the tourist himself.
